OUTLINE:

MAS 3114 is a 3 credit course on linear algebra that the computational nature of the topics. These topics include linear systems, matrices, determinants, vectors, vector spaces, linear transformations, inner products, eigenvalues, and applications. The specific list of subjects can be found here . Three computer projects will be assigned. Proofs are not stressed as much as in MAS 4105 Linear Algebra 1 although selected proofs will be covered in class. One of the major objectives of the course is to learn MATLAB, a programming environment, that will be used for the projects. This course is designed to serve science, computer science, quantitative science, and engineering majors, and mathematics minors. Mathematics majors are required to take MAS 4105.

Course Policies:


1. Homewrok will be assigned almost every day but will not be collected. Test questions will be based on homework. All projects must be completed
independently by using MATLAB and submitted before the due date and time.
2. Late submissions will not be accepted except in the documented cases of medical emergency.

Academic Honesty:

The course will be conducted in accord with the University honor code and academic honesty policy.

Accommodation :

Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.
