Course Description
This course will basically cover the same material as MAT188 (that
is: matrix arithmetic,
determinants, vector spaces, inner product spaces, diagonalization)
but the precision and rigor
will be emphasized and in general you may expect more challenging questions
on your quizzes,
on the test and on the exam.
The first half of the course may be familiar to you from your OAC courses
in high school and
you should not have major difficulties in absorbing it. The second
part of the course is much
more demanding as we proceed from familiar to unfamiliar and from concrete
to abstract.
