COURSE INFORMATION


TEXT: S. Leon, Linear Algebra with Applications, 6th Edition

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
There will be two exams, on Wednesday, February 25th and Friday, April 2nd, each worth 25% of your grade, and a self-scheduled final exam worth 30%. Homework will be collected regularly. In addition, there will be a project on the last day of written work; details will be handed out later. Homework and the project will be worth 20% of your grade.

HOMEWORK: Homework will be graded. You are encouraged to work together on the homework, but you should write up your own solutions. Homework that is more than a week late will not be graded. You are allowed two late homeworks (late = after the due date, but less than or equal to one week after the due date!).

OFFICE HOURS (Room 332): Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.; and by appointment. There will be Problem Sessions each week (TBA), conducted by TA Beth Campbell.

EXTENSIONS: Tests may not be taken late without advance permission. Extensions are usually granted ONLY for family emergencies, infirmary or hospital stays, or similar major crises.

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Students who think they may need accommoda-tions in this course because of the impact of a disability are encouraged to meet with me privately early in the semester. Students should also contact Stephanie Bell, Coordinator of Accessibility Services, at 610-526-7351 in Canwyll House, as soon as possible, to verify their eligibility for reasonable accommodations. Early contact will help to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and delays.
