MAS 3105 - LINEAR  ALGEBRA

          This will be an on-campus class - but the office hours will be remote via Zoom.

           Prof. Ram's Zoom Meeting ID - 722 280 1561.   Waiting Room will be enabled -

           and a Passcode may be sent to your official FIU e-mail later on.

 

          Syllabus
          Contains the name of the textbook,  prerequisites for the course,  relevant sections of the
          textbook, exam policy, schedule of exams, grading scheme, and other pertinent information.

 

          Textbook
          Linear Algebra with Applications (Tenth Edition) by Leon & de Pillis, Prentice Hall 2020.

           This is the textbook & it is also used by the other section - but if you cannot get it then the Alternative

          Textbook is Linear Algebra with Applications (Ninth Edition) by Stephen J. Leon, Prentice Hall 2016.
 

          Homework
          Contains the list of all the relevant homework problems for the course (for both the 9th & 10th editions)

          Proof of Theorem 5 & Similar matrices     Supplementary problems for the fundamental subspaces of A    

 

         Review Sheets:

              Review for Test #1                            Review for Test #2

        Most of the questions in the exams usually come from the topics in the Review,  but

          this cannot always be so because everything we cover cannot always fit on one page.

         The Review sheets for the Final just consists of all the Reviews for Tests #1 & #2.
