Assigned Homework

Assigned work is listed here. Homework is due in class at 12 p.m. on the due date, unless otherwise stated.
  • Due on Wednesday January 22 (assigned January 13): Please write (or, preferably, type) a paragraph or two about yourself. What is your major? What is your mathematical background? Why are you taking this class? What are you hoping to get out of this class? How do you intend to ensure a successful experience in this class? In particular, will your focus be primarily on getting answers or instead on learning the mathematics we study (with finding correct answers through your own work a consequence of learning the mathematics we study)? How will you restrict use of AI tools (and other web sites that provide answers) to make sure that you are in fact learning linear algebra?
    Visit the web site for this class (http://blythrd.me/slu/, click on "Spring 2025 Classes" in the green box on the left) - tell me something about it that you like, and something that could be improved.
    Write anything else you wish.

    Where is New Zealand?

    Also: send an email to your family, telling them when your tests and final exam are in this class, advising them NOT to book travel that conflicts with these events. Pay particular attention to the date of the Final Exam.
