- Contacting me: I can be emailed at any time. I guarantee a turnaround on emailed questions within 24 hours -- usually within an hour or two.
- FINAL EXAM: April 15, 6:00 – 8:00 PM in the U. Centre Rm 210-224
- The final exam is comprehensive -- i.e., it covers the entire course. We have nothing further to say about what is, or isn't, on this exam. Look to what was covered in lectures and what we have given you in homework and quizzes; mastery of everything learned in the course is your best pathway to success.
- NOTE THE FINAL IS MONDAY APRIL 15 -- for a brief period the wrong date was displayed here. BE SURE TO GO ON THE RIGHT DAY TO YOUR EXAM. You can also check here
- 3 HOUR MARATHON STUDY SESSION scheduled for Saturday April 13, 1–4 PM (this may be adjusted slightly when the room is booked. Watch this space) Room: Armes 200
- As we never went over it in detail in class, here is a set of Annotated solutions for our Midterm which I prepared for your edification.
- Leftover quizzes (etc) which you didn't pick up in lab should be in the box outside my office.

If nothing appears here, the posted week-by-week slides should suffice to show you where we are in the course, and the sketch of sections covered and not yet covered in that table should suffice as an approximation of the information you would get from a more complete schedule of lectures) |

| HOMEWORK |
(A minimal
set of exercises to do in order to master the methods
and content of this course. If you wish a higher
grade you probably should go beyond what is found here) WEEKLY LAB
WORKSHEETS
This is something new I'm trying in the
third week -- a small sheet of exercises geared to each
week's material. We will experiment with
these. I've made up worksheets for the first three
weeks (starting with Worksheet 0). Tell me what
you think. I've suggested to the TAs that they
distribute Worksheet #2 in lab this week (too late
unfortunately for Lab B01, my fault!) and try them out
as a way to focus your work & questions. We'll
see how that works out.Worksheet #0 Later worksheets: to be distributed in lab only. Worksheet #1 (they will not be posted here) Worksheet #2 Worksheet #6 This one is distributed here because of reading week in lieu of lab Worksheet #11 NOTE: A student has pointed out that in my solution to Q10 I confused the roles of x and y in the two shears. (What I call a shear in the x direction ought to be a shear in the y direction and vice versa.) Worksheet #12 Worksheet 12 is in lieu of labs the very last week (Monday) of the course. Worksheet 13 is a random sample of Worksheet #13 skills from the course, which I thought you'd appreciate for working on prior to the final exam. These two worksheets are still in preparation but will appear here soon. |

data (NOT hand-drawn slides, or live examples), lightly
edited, giving overall content & flow of material in
lectures. How I organize these may evolve over the
term. For now it will contain most of each lecture,
and I'll add pages at the end of each week summarizing
what was covered in class.
If you find typos in the slides
please email me and I'll fix 'em

of each set of slides. ALTERNATIVE READING RESOURCES
Some pages prepared by my colleague M.
Doob for his Math 1220 class, which covers a lot of
the same material as Math 1300:
NOTES (and some exercises) on SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS NOTES (and some exercises) on THE BASICS OF MATRICES NOTES (and some exercises) on DETERMINANTS SOME PRACTICE SHEETS
My colleague Rob Borgerson has constructed some helpful self-help practice sheets for a few of the skills you need to know for this course. Make use of them. Send in any typos or other comments. REF PRACTICE RREF PRACTICE GAUSS-JORDAN ELIMINATION PRACTICE WORD PROBLEMS (TO SET UP LINEAR SYSTEMS TO SOLVE) PRACTICE MATRIX MULTIPLICATION PRACTICE ADJOINTS PRACTICE (easier) ADJOINTS PRACTICE (harder) Here's one I prepared to help with vector geometry basics: GEOMETRY WORKSHEET -- some exercises covering some of our basic skills (plus some exercise in using them flexibly) concerning vector geometry up to and including cross products |
