• Times and places for the course and final exam: The course meets Tuesday and Thursday 11:00AM to 12:15PM in MDD (Maxim D. Doucet) Room 209.  The final exam will be on Thursday, May 9, 2:00PM to4:30PM.
• Text: Elementary Linear Algebra, eleventh edition, by Anton and Rorres, with Wiley Plus.
  A copy of the online text and other resources is also available without charge to those who have bought new copies of the text, through Wiley Plus, and for a fee to others.  To access the online text, tutorials, and other resources, go to http://edugen.wiley.com/.   
• Prerequisite: Math. 250 or Math. 270, MATH 272 or MATH 251 with grade of C or better.
• A highly recommended resource: MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) is based on linear algebra computations.  Familiarity with it is bound to help you in this course, in other engineering courses, and likely also in post-graduate research or employment.  MATLAB is installed in our engineering labs, and also is installed in the Mathematics Department MDD 212 classroom lab.  (Check for open hours for MDD 212.)  Students can buy MATLAB for their studies at a much reduced cost;  furthermore, GNU Octave is a free package whose syntax is compatible with MATLAB, and which has many of the functions present in Matlab.  In particular, Octave version 4 and above has syntax and a user interface very similar to Matlab, and is an option for students working at home and on their personal machines.
