  • Text: Applied Linear Algebra; the Decoupling Principle, 2nd edition by yours truly.  We will attempt to cover the first 8 chapters, with occasional sections skipped.
  • Prerequisites: M340L or M341, with a grade of at least C-, or my permission. This is a fairly difficult class, so if you struggled in M340L or M341, it's probably not the place for you. I expect you to have a good feel for manipulating matrices, especially row reduction, at the level of Appendix A. I also expect you to have seen abstract vector spaces and linear transformations, but some rustiness is expected -- we'll be reviewing that. I don't assume that you've seen eigenvalues and eigenvectors at all; we'll do them from scratch.

  • Here are several practice exams, and I'll post our actual exams after the fact. In studying for tests, I strongly recommend that you work each old exam without looking at the solutions, and then look at the solutions when you're done.

  • First midterm from 2003, both with and without solutions
  • First midterm from 2004, both with and without solutions
  • First midterm from 2005, both with and without solutions
  • First midterm from Spring 2009, both with and without solutions
  • First midterm from Fall 2009 both with and without solutions
  • Actual first midterm from Fall 2013 both with and without solutions
  • Second midterm from 2003, both with and without solutions
  • Second midterm from 2004, both with and without solutions
  • Second midterm from Spring 2009, both with and without solutions
  • Second midterm from Fall 2009, both with and without solutions
  • Actual second midterm from Fall 2013 both with and without solutions
  • Third midterm from Spring 2009, both with and without solutions
  • Third midterm from Fall 2009, both with and without solutions
  • Actual third midterm from Fall 2013 both with and without solutions
  • Practice final from 2000, both with and without solutions
  • Practice final from 2003, both with and without solutions
  • Practice final from 2004, both with and without solutions
  • Practice final from 2005, both with and without solutions
