Catalog description 

Primarily intended for science and engineering majors. Topics include matrix algebra and matrix calculus, matrix solutions of systems of linear equations, eigenvector and eigenvalue problems, quadratic forms, and inner product spaces.

Prerequisites

You must have earned a passing grade in Math 263D.

Required text

Matrix Methods: An Introduction, by Richard Bronson; Academic press, second edition.

Grading

All exams and homework assignments should be done independently; otherwise you will be guilty of plagiarism. A student who is caught cheating will get an F for the course and will be referred to student judiciaries for further action.

Score distribution:

Score	[ 0, 60)	[60, 70)	[70, 80)	[80, 90)	[90,100]
Letter grade	F	D	C	B	A

Extra credit problems will not be assigned. Letter grades will be assigned at the end of the academic term and are based on:

Homework	20%	Refer to submission schedule at  blackboard
Midterm	30%	02/08/08, Friday
Final Exam	50%	Thursday, March 20, at 12:20 p.m. Please check here for the schedule: http://www.ohiou.edu/registrar/info/winter07-08/finals.htm

Homework will be assigned during every lecture. Unless otherwise specified, each homework assignment will be due before class at the due date. Late submission will cause reducing grade. Electronic submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. Due to limited reader time, randomly selected problems from each assignment will be graded.

Exam policy

Attendance at the scheduled examinations and final is required. There is no provision for absences due to vacations, family outings and other social activities, other special plans and appointments, etc.  Absences due to illness require a medical excuse on Physician's letterhead, signed by the physician, which must be submitted before any alternate arrangements for the exam will be considered.
