Schedule

We largely follow the textbook (Bretscher, Linear Algebra With Applications, 3rd edition), but we mix in as many additional applications as possible. Problems marked in bold must be handed in. Do the other problems, but do not hand them in. Remember that this quantity of problems is the minimum that I recommend to pass the course.
