Non-Homework Set
December 15, 2004
To prepare for the final, I have some suggestions for practice problems on the sections you did not have homework. I really like
the bolded questions.
Section 4.5: 1, 5, 11, 15, 17, 19, 21, 25
Section 4.7: 5, 7, 11, 15, 17, 26, 27, 29
Section 4.8: 1, 3, 15, 21
Section 4.Supp (p. 350): 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 13
Section 4.Concep (p. 351): 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14 (Solutions)
If you are looking for even more practice, I can point you here with solutions
here. These are good questions to practice; I have borrowed them from a friend so they
are not my wording. I will not make you do Gram-Schmidt on the final.
The final will likely be about 8 problems + 8 quick questions in length. (Add together a quiz and the midterm...)
Quiz 3 Solutions are now posted in (pdf).
Homework 8 (the last official one!)
Monday, December 6, 2004
To practice for the quiz, I suggest at least doing the homework below from Sections 4.1 and 4.2.
Section 4.1: 3, 4, 10, 15, 17, 19
Section 4.2: 2, 3, 13, 14, 22, 25, 27, 29

Section 4.4: 3, 8, 9, 18a, 22, 25, 27ab
About Quiz 3: (on Wednesday 12/1) The quiz will take the first 30
minutes at the beginning of class. The quiz will cover sections 3.7-3.9 and 4.1-4.2 in the textbook. There will be one question
about fitting data to a polynomial, one question about finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, and more QuAQ's.
The key words for the quick answer questions
include linear transformation, identity transformation, zero transformation, null space, range, nullity, and rank of a
transformation, least squares solution to a system of equations, residual vector, overdetermined system, normal equations, full
rank matrix, rank deficient matrix, best least squares approximation to a vector v, eigenvalue, eigenvector, The Eigenvalue
Problem, determinant, minor matrix of a matrix, minor of a_ij, cofactor,
signed minor, cofactor expansion, Theorems 3 and 4 in Chapter 4
Homework 7
Monday, November 29, 2004
Section 3.7: 18, 21, 28, 29, 35
Section 3.8: 1, 3, 4, 9, 11, 12
Section 3.9: 1, 3, 8, 11, 16
Conceptual Exercises: (p 269) 21, 22, 23
Additional Problem A: If w* in W is the best approximation to v in R^n, we
decided
that (v-w*) is perpendicular to every
vector in W. Use this fact to prove that
||v-w||^2=||v-w*||^2+||w^*-w||^2 for every
w in W, using the definition of ||x||.
Remember we changed our schedule for the rest of the quarter because of Thanksgiving.
The updated schedule can be found here.

Non-Homework Set
November 10, 2004
To prepare for the midterm, I have some suggestions for practice problems. I especially encourage you to make it to the Supplementary and Conceptual questions I list.
Section 3.4: 31, 33, 34
Section 3.5: 7, 9, 13, 17, 18, 23, 27a, 30, 34, 40
Section 3.6: 2, 5, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 28
Section 3.Supp (p. 266): 3, 4, 5, 8
Section 3.Concep (p. 268): 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14
If you are looking for even more practice, I can point you here with solutions
here. These are good questions to practice but the midterm will probably have a different structure.

Practice Problems for the
Quiz: (html) (pdf)
About Quiz 1: The quiz will take the first 30 minutes at the beginning of class. I made the quiz to take 15-20 minutes, but am
providing additional time so that there is little time pressure. The quiz will cover sections 1.1-1.4 in the textbook. There will be one question where you will solve for
the general and a particular solution of a system of equations. There will be one question where you will be given either a traffic network or an electrical network and
you will provide the system of equations that corresponds to the network.
Lastly, there will be a quick answer section. These are questions of the type [True or False
...] or [Give an example of a matrix that...] or other questions that play on your knowledge of definitions of key words. The key words for Quiz 1 are the highlighted
words in Sections 1.1-1.4, in particular mxn system of equations, augmented matrix, echelon form, reduced echelon form, elementary row operation, general
solution, particular solution, consistent system, inconsistent system, homogeneous system, trivial solution, and non-trivial solution
Homework 1
October 6, 2004
Read the class web page including syllabus and schedule. This should answer all the questions that you may have about the class.
Go to the class Discussion Board. Reply to the "Homework #1" post by writing your name. (This is just to see if you can find it
and use it.)
Section 1.1: 2, 6, 11, 12, 20, 22, 26, 32
Section 1.2: 8, 9, 14, 19, 23, 28, 30, 36, 50
