Math 310, Applied Linear Algebra Fall Semester, 2017 10 am MWF, 130 Science and Engineering South, Call #22632 ♦ Instructor: Rafail Abramov. ♠ Office: 1223 SEO ♠ Phone: (312) 413 7945 ♠ Email: [email protected] ♠ Office Hours: 11:30 am W ♠ Course webpage: http://homepages.math.uic.edu/˜abramov/courses/m310 ♦ Course description/course objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to solve systems of linear equations using row reduction (Gaussian elimination) and, when applicable, other methods, carry out matrix operations, including calculating inverses and determinants. Students should demonstrate understanding of the concepts of linear independence, vector spaces, orthogonality and linear transformations. Students should be able to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors and solve related problems, use inner products and construct orthogonal/orthonormal bases using the Gram-Schmidt process. A number of applications to dynamical systems, and applications in science and engineering will be covered. ♦ Prerequisites: Grade C or better in Math 181. ♦ Course drop policy: See the university policy at https://registrar.uic.edu/registration. ♦ Textbook: Lay, Lay & McDonald, Linear Algebra and its Applications, Addison–Wesley 5th edition. ♦ Quizzes and homework: The homework assignments are on the course webpage. The homework will not be collected. Instead, a quiz will be given once a week based on the homework problems. ♦ Calculators: The use of any electronic devices with computing capabilities is prohibited during exams and quizzes. ♦ Exam dates: The midterms will take place on Wednesday, October 4th and Friday, November 3rd, during the lecture. The final two-hour exam will take place on Monday, December 11th, 1–3 pm. ♦ Final score: ♠ Quizzes (20% of the final score) ♠ Two Midterm Hour Exams (20% of the final score each) ♠ The Final Exam (40% of the final score) ♦ Grade cutoffs: ≥90% – A, ≥78% – B, ≥64% – C, ≥50% – D, otherwise F. ♦ Disability policy: The University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to maintaining a barrier-free environment so that students with disabilities can fully access programs, courses, services, and activities at UIC.
