Assignments for Math 2600 - Linear Algebra
Homework assignments will typically be due at the beginning of class on Wednesdays. Late homework will not be accepted, but your lowest homework score will be dropped. Solutions to the assignments will be posted to the Blackboard page after the due date.
You are encouraged to work together in groups and discuss problems with each other, but your solutions must be written up independently and in your own words. Copying solutions or allowing your solutions to be copied will be considered a violation of the Honor Code.
Each assignment consists of two parts: WARM-UP problems and TURN-IN problems. Only the turn-in problems should be submitted for grading; the warm-up problems are to give students extra practice with the material and should not be submitted. Due to time constraints, we may not grade every problem in the assignment.
This computer program (made by Professor Ellingham) can help with the arithmetic when solving systems of linear equations or doing row operations. It's a simple command-line program for manipulating vectors and matrices. Feel free to use it on homework assignments to check your answers and help avoid mistakes, but remember you won't be able to use computers or calculators on the exams or quizzes.
