Practice Final Exam.
The Solution sheet for Exam 3 is available. You can get this from me. (I'll bring them to class on Friday.)
The Invertible Matrix Theorem in all its completeness on one page (You won't find this in the textbook!)
Clarification on random grading determination: Quizzes are graded more leniently and with fewer points if you win the coin toss, and in more detail for more points otherwise. Homework is graded in detail only if the die roll produces a 6. Sorry for any confusion!
Change to the syllabus (3-30)--Add the following to the "Exams" section: "Your lowest score on one of the 50-minute exams will be replaced by your second-lowest score on a 50-minute exam."
Your grades are now available on
ANGEL (through Exam 3).
Here are
some guidelines to help you with completing True/False questions from the text.
