This is the common calendar.
For course policies, please read the
syllabus carefully. To get practice with past midterms and final exams, see the
1553 exam archive.
Also, see Prof. Jankowski's
Spring 2022 lecture recordings.
He recorded most of the lectures from that semester, though a few had technical difficulties.
Please note that the schedule is tentative and may be changed without notice, especially before the semester begins.
Sections listed below correspond
to Interactive
Linear Algebra by Margalit and Rabinoff.
Also:
Check out the games and demos page!
We have a reference sheet with
important terms and concepts.
There is also the
interactive row reducer, which
is great for checking your steps as you perform row reduction.
In addition to the slides below, Dan Margalit has written a set
of his own slides, which you can find
here.
We encourage you to look at the overview before the first day of class.
