MAT 441, Spring 2019

Welcome to Math 441, Linear Algebra, a proof-based course. The syllabus is here.

This website will be used to make announcements, post homework assignments, etcetera. I will also enable Canvas for course announcements and to facilitate communication between students.

Office hours will be Monday 3-4 and Tuesday 1-2 in my office, Fenton 210. Please come.

I believe we agreed the midterm would be friday of week 6, in class.

We will be working from Linear Algebra Done Right 2nd ed. by Sheldon Axler. This quarter I expect we will cover chapter 1-6, 8, and 10, though this is subject to change after some soul searching on my part. If we cover additional topics I will make free resources available.

I was recently told about a way you can get a copy of the textbook for $25 including shipping, which is cheaper than many other options. You can also get a pdf. Here are the instructions.

• Search for Axler Linear Algebra at library.uoregon.edu, and click the online access link in the ebook result.
• Log in if you have not already, and then click the SpringerLink eBooks link.
• You'll reach a page where you can download the pdf. There is also a button on the right to buy a softcover edition.
