Knowledge in several different disciplines;2. The ability to think critically;3. The ability to communicate effectively;4. An appreciation for how knowledge is discovered, challenged, and transformed as it advances;5. An understanding of ethics and ethical behavior.Course Topical OutlineWe shall consider most of the material of the first two chapters to be known from the prerequisite courses. We shall go over the first two chapters quickly, and then work our way through the next six chapters. The exercises are part of the text. With few (announced) exceptions, students are expected to read all exercises. Some will be included in the lectures, and some will be assigned to be turned in. Some will appear in tests or quizzes.First homework, due May 25 at 5pm, by page and problem numbers:5/5,6; 11/7, 8; 16/6, 9, 10; 21/8; 26/2, 10; 34/5.Course evaluation methodQuizzes are scheduled for May 28 and June 11. There will be a test on June 23 There will be quizzes July 14 and 28. The final examination will be August 4. The test and final exam will be given using the Canvas Lockdown Browser and webcam.Homework and average of four quizzes: 30%Mid-semester test 30%Final Exam:40%Course grading scaleCumulative performanceGrade≥90A87-89A-83-86B+80-82B77-79B-73-76C+65-72C50-65D<50FPolicy on attendance, makeup tests and incompletesRegular attendance is expected. Classes will be held virtually, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:15-2:50pm., and will be recorded for your convenience, although the recorded sessions may not appear on Canvas for a day or two. Homework which is required will have fixed due dates, and late homework will be graded only in part. Students are responsible for arranging to make up work missed because of legitimate class absence, such as illness, family emergencies, military obligation, court-imposed legal obligations, or participation in university-approved activities. It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor prior to any anticipated absence, and within 24 hours after an unanticipated absence. Makeup tests will be given only under circumstances which coincide with university policy (see link below under attendance). If you miss a test or exam, you must provide a written, verifiable excuse, if possible in advance of the scheduled exam. are only given according to University policy. Required and recommended texts:Linear Algebra, 2nd ed., by Kenneth Hoffman and Ray Kunze (1971) Pearson. This book is out of print in the US. Hardback and paperback copies are easily available from Amazon, Ebay, and elsewhere. I selected this text more than two months ago, but withdrew it, when the bookstore refused to order it. I learned yesterday that the site of? Library Genesis () has useful links. I uploaded Chapter 1 of the text on the Pages page in Canvas.I had originally intended to use a set of notes by Sergei Treil, Linear Algebra Done Wrong, which can be found at text, not quite up to the level of this course, but interesting, is Linear Algebra Done Right, by Sheldon Axler, which Springer Nature is allowing students to download free on at least July 31.Classroom EtiquettePlease refer to the FAU Code of Conduct available at CodeStudents at Florida Atlantic University are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, becauseit interferes with the university mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys an unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the university community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty.
