MATH 2210 Q, Applied Linear Algebra
Summer 2025
Lectures: The course lectures will be asynchronous. Lecture videos and lecture slides are posted on Husky CT.
Textbook: David C. Lay, Judi J. McDonald, Steven R. Lay : Linear Algebra and Its Applica- tions (6th edition Including MyLab). It’s absolutely necessary to obtain MyLab access, ALL HOMEWORK WILL ONLY BE ASSIGNED ON MYLAB.
Course Description: Linear systems of equations and row operations; linear independence, sub- space, and spanning sets; inner products, orthogonality, determinants and inverses; Gram-Schmidt procedure, spectral theorem; least squares approximation and data fitting; eigenvalues and eigen- vectors, diagonalization; vector spaces, linear transforms.
Prerequisites: The official prerequisites are MATH 1132, 1152, or 2142. Recommended Prepa- ration: a grade of C- or better in MATH 1132. Not open for credit to students who have passed MATH 3210. In particular, you should be comfortable with trigonometric identities, derivatives and integrals of functions, the chain rule, the product rule, the quotient rule, and solving related rate problems.
Exams: There will be two asynchronous online midterm exams. The first midterm will take place on Wednesday July 30 and the second midterm will take place on Friday August 15. The tests will appear on Husky CT on these dates. You will be able to start the exam anytime between 5AM and 10PM.
