LECTURES: |
Section 1 (Carden): MWF 9:00 AM, Duncan Hall 1064 Section 2 (Hardesty): MWF 9:00 AM, Duncan Hall 1046 | ||
INSTRUCTORS: |

LABORATORY: |
The lectures will be accompanied by an optional 1-credit
laboratory in which students examine concepts from the course more deeply
in the context of physical experiments.
A Lab Manual is available. An interest meeting will be held at 5PM on Wednesday, January 11, in DH 2014. Lab TA: Jorge Castanon (Jorge.A.Castanon_AT_rice.edu), Duncan Hall 3066 | ||
PREREQUISITES: |
MATH 212 and CAAM 210. Less formally: you should be familiar with multivariable calculus and elementary matrix manipulations (matrix addition and multiplication, Gaussian elimination), and be able to write MATLAB programs. | ||
GRADING: |
40% problem sets, 60% exams (Class participation and improving performance on the exams will be considered when assigning borderline grades.) | ||
PROBLEM SETS: |
Problem sets will be assigned roughly once a week. You may collaborate on the problems, but your write-up must be your own independent work. Transcribed solutions are unacceptable; you may not consult solutions from previous sections of this class. | ||
LATE POLICY: |
You may turn in two problem sets one class period late without penalty. Subsequent late assignments will be penalized 20% each. Homework will not be accepted more than one class period late without a written excuse. This implies that you may not use two `lates' on one assignment. | ||
EXAMS: |
Three take-home, timed, closed-book exams will each account for 20% of the final grade. Each exam must be your individual, unassisted effort; indicate compliance by writing out in full and signing the traditional pledge. Late exams will not be accepted without a written excuse. | ||
COURSE NOTES: |
Matrix Analysis by Steve Cox
(available in
pdf
and as a course pack from the bookstore) and Supplemental notes by Matthias Heinkenschloss (available as a pdf). Visit the lectures page before and after each class. | ||
