Text:  Linear Algebra and its  Applications,  third edition, by David Lay.
         

Quiz 9 solutions                          
Topics:
Lines, planes and their descriptions
Systems of Linear equations and their solutions
Linear Transformations and their matrices
Matrices, properties, determinants
Vector  Spaces
Eigenvalues, eigenspaces

Testing and Grading: 
Homework assignments will be given regularly, some might be graded.  
In-class quizzes or exams will be given every week, starting the first week of classes.                  
Three in-class midterms and a written final exam will be given.

The overall grade will depend on the following percentage distribution:  
Quizzes  and homework 35%,  Midterms 33%, Final 32%.  
Note, there will be no make-up exams or quizzes except in the case of medical or  family emergency.

Grading scale:
90+  A,  80+ B,  70+ C, 50+ D,  49- F.
