How your Grade will be Determined

2. Exam 2 (chapters 3+4)= 20%
3. Weekly Quizzes (with the lowest dropped) = 30%
4. Final = (chapters 1-6) = 30% 
   Total = 100%

Text and Homework 

• Introduction to Linear Algebra (4th edition) by Gilbert Strang (see more info ).
  I expect that you read the book; lecture participation is not enough (more friendly advice.)
• Homework assignments (posted in class or under this link) will not be collected; however, quizzes will be based on them.

Calculators

• Calculators will not be allowed on exams (unless specifically stated otherwise).
