Books
Linear Algebra with Applications by W. Keith Nicholson This is a free PDF book online with resourses (see eClass for more tools).
Note that the book is free but the mandatory access to Lyryx is reasonable but not free
Course description:
Systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, determinants
and diagonalization, vector geometry, and the vector space $R^n$.
The plan is to cover material from the first 5 chapters of the text book.
Chapter 1: Systems of Linear Equations
Chapter 2: Matrix Algebra
Chapter 3: Determinants and Diagonalization
Chapter 4: Vector Geometry
Chapter 5: The Vector Space $R^n$
Some material may be skipped or added depending on our needs. The course will
deal with the computations of solving linear equations as well as abstract concepts.
Prerequisites: Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or equivalent.
Course credit exclusions: SC/MATH 1025 3.00, SC/MATH 2221 3.00, GL/MATH/MODR2650 3.00.
More detailed description can be found on the eClass page of the class.
Lyryx Quizzes: 30% [using Lyryx online tools, best 9/10 quizzes]
Test 30% [test should be in person, if possible, otherwise online using eClass]
Final exam 40% [Should be in person]
There will be quizzes assignments online using Lyryx. The due dates for the
quiz assignments will be found in lyryx.
The test will be 70 minutes long (during the class of Oct 20).
The Final Exam will be 3 hours long (with date to be determined).
Course Policies:
Missed or late quiz: Quizzes are completed online using Lyryx. Late
quizz will not be axcepted. Students are encouraged to start practicing their work on
quiz lab early. Missed test: Students with a documented reason for missing the test, such as illness, compassionate grounds, etc., which is confirmed by supporting documentation (e.g., doctor's letter) may request accommodation from the Course Instructor in the form of transferring the weight of the missed test to the final exam. Missed final exam: The instructor must be notified by email no later than 24
hours after the missed final exam. To make up the final exam, an Attending
Physicians Statement (APS) must be completed by the students health provider,
and a clear photo or scan of the APS must be emailed to the instructor within
48 hours of the missed exam. The APS form can be downloaded from http:
//myacademicrecord.students.yorku.ca/deferred-standing. No other form
of doctors note will be accepted. The student must also complete and submit
the Final Exam/Assignment Deferred Standing Agreement form within one week
after the missed final exam. If the APS meets the above requirements the in-
structor will sign the deferred standing agreement and the student will write an
exam set by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. If, however, the
APS does not meet the above requirements, there will be no agreement to de-
ferred standing and the student must petition their home Faculty.
Academic Integrity:
All Students are Expected to Engage in Academically Honest Work Academic integrity benefits everyone in our community. It not only helps
you reach the real goal of this class-learning, but also allows for the university and
program to be perceived positively by others. When students are dishonest, they
lose out on valuable learning that will help them perform well in their career. It can
also negatively impact all of the students in the program and at the institution by
creating negative mindsets which may result in fewer outside learning opportunities
for students. Academic dishonesty is any attempt by a student to gain academic
advantage through dishonest means or to assist another student with gaining an
unfair advantage. Academic integrity is important regardless of whether the work
is graded or ungraded, group or individual, written or oral. Dishonest acts are major academic offences and carry serious penalties, ranging from a failing grade on
the plagiarized work to expulsion from the university. For more details,
see York's Academic Honesty Policy and
information on Academic Integrity for Students.
This is particularly important in these time of isolation with the pandemic.
