MATH 204

Vectors and Matrices (3 credits)

a.k.a. Linear algebra – the study of lines, planes, and subspaces

Tutorials:

  • These tutorials are not mandatory, however it is strongly recommended you attend them in order to get more practice with the material. The TA will go over practice problems from that week’s lecture(s) and may even provide you guys some help with the homework problems.
  • The tutorials may also have bonus quizzes in order for you to rack up some bonus marks on your final grade. This can really be the difference between, say, an A- and an A

Webwork: 

  • Webwork is free.
  • Bookmark this page and be sure to submit your homework in time, every week.
  • Usually you have a limited amount of attempts so be careful.
  • Every student has slightly different values for the homework, so you cannot simply copy from a friend. Although the questions are exactly the same format so your friend can walk you through how he or she solved the problem.

Exams:

  • The final exam is cumulative and the same across all sections. In other words, all the professors teaching the course that semester will collaborate with respect to writing the final exam.
  • The exams follow the same format from semester to semester. Best way to prepare is to sit down for a few hours without interruption and go through some old exams. I have included some sample exams below. Note that you can also purchase these exams for a few cents at the digital store, located at the bottom floor of the LB building.
