    Text: Steven J. Leon, Linear Algebra with Applications, 7th or 8th or 9th Editions, Pearson.

    Description: This is an introductory course in linear algebra and matrix theory, which are important
    branches of mathematics concerning vector spaces and matrices. We will study topics that will be
    useful in other disciplines, including systems of linear equations, matrix arithmetic and matrix alge-
    bra, determinants, vector spaces and bases, linear transformations, orthogonal subspaces, least squares
    problems, inner product spaces, Gram-Schmidth orthogonalization, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, di-
    agonalization, Hermitian matrices, and the singular value decomposition. Emphasis will be given to
    concepts, computational methods, and applications. Matlab will be used throughout the course.

    Outline: We will cover parts of the following topics in the textbook. Additional topics may be covered,
    at the instructor’s discretion, depending on time and student interest.

    • Ch. 1 - Matrices and Systems of Equations: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    • Ch. 2 - Determinants: Sections 1, 2, 3

    • Ch. 3 - Vector Spaces: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    • Ch. 4 - Linear Transformations: Sections 1, 2, 3

    • Ch. 5 - Orthogonality: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    • Ch. 6 - Eigenvalues: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    Grading: Your grade for this course is based on homework, quizzes, one midterm exam, and a final
    exam, in the following proportion:

    • Homework 20%

    • Quizzes 10%

    • Midterm exam 35% on Tuesday March 7 in class 9:30 – 10:45

    • Final exam 35% on Tuesday May 9 in class 7:30 – 9:30

    Spring 2017 (2nd version: 01/24/2017)

    Homework: Each homework will consist of a number of questions either from the textbook or similar
    to the textbook problems and may contain computer exercises, which require Matlab. You need to
    hand in a written report on the due date in class. Refer to the introductory slides for instructions on
    how a report should look like. Late homework is not accepted unless you have a valid reason. If you
    are to miss a homework due date, you will need to talk to me in advance. You are encouraged to work
    with each other on the homework problems, but each of you must hand in a homework report in your
    own handwriting and your own words.
    Quizzes: Quizzes will be either on the material covered in the previous lectures or on the material
    discussed on the same day. For instance, when I am solving a problem in class, you may be asked to
    finish a part of the solution that I leave incomplete. Therefore, doing well on quizzes requires that you
    are: 1) present and alert in class; and 2) familiar with previous material. Quizzes will be taken on a
    random basis.

    Exams: We will have two exams: a midterm and a final. The final exam will not be cumulative,
    however, sometimes you may need the knowledge covered in the midterm. The exam problems will be
    similar to the homework problems and practice problems, which will be provided a few weeks before
    each exam. Before each exam we will have a review session. In almost all cases, a missed exam will
    simply be awarded zero points. In some very special cases, alternative arrangements may be made. If
    at all possible let me know well in advance that you might miss an exam and, if you have a valid reason,
    I’ll see what I can do. Only in extreme circumstances will a student be allowed to make up an exam
    that was missed without prior arrangements.

    Dishonesty Policy: Each student is expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty and
    integrity in academic and professional matters. The University reserves the right to take disciplinary
    action, including dismissal, against any student who is found responsible for academic dishonesty. Any
    student who has been judged to have engaged in academic dishonesty in course work may receive a
    reduced or failing grade for the work in question and/or for the course. Academic dishonesty includes,
    but is not limited to, dishonesty on quizzes, tests or assignments; claiming credit for work not done or
    done by others; and hindering the academic work of other students.

    American Disabilities Act: In accordance with University Policy 2310 and the American Disabilities
    Act (ADA), academic accommodations may be made for any student who notifies the instructor of the
    need for an accommodation. It is imperative that you take the initiative to bring such needs to the
    instructor’s attention, as the instructor is not legally permitted to inquire. Students who may require
    assistance in emergency evacuations should contact the instructor as to the most appropriate procedures
    to follow. Contact Accessibility Services at 505-661-4692 for additional information.

    Disclaimer: I reserve the right to make reasonable and necessary changes to the policies outlined in
    this syllabus. An up-to-date copy of the syllabus can always be found on the course website. You need
    to regularly check the course website for possible updates. It is your responsibility to know and
    understand the policies discussed therein and to be up-to-date. If in doubt, ask questions.

    Note. In an effort to meet obligations under Title IX, UNM faculty, Teaching Assistants, and Graduate
    Assistants are considered “responsible employees” by the Department of Education (see pg 15 -
    http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/qa-201404-title-ix.pdf). This designation requires that
    any report of gender discrimination which includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and sexual
    violence made to a faculty member, TA, or GA must be reported to the Title IX Coordinator at the
    Office of Equal Opportunity (oeo.unm.edu). For more information on the campus policy regarding
    sexual misconduct, see: https://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/2000/2740.html
