M340L is an introduction to linear algebra with a computational bent. The topics covered include matrix algebra, determinants, linear independence, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, least-square problems, and the spectral theory of symmetric matrices.
Electronic course instructor surveys (eCIS) will be available for the last two weeks of the semester. During the survey period, you may fill out eCIS on UT Direct.
Homework grades will be posted periodically on Blackboard Learn. For details on the homework policy, see the syllabus.
