Homework for DETERMINANTS

1. Determinants

• compute the determinant of a matrix $A$
• determine if $A$ is singular or nonsingular by computing its determinant

• Examples:
  • From http://linear.ups.edu/html/section-DM.html , read Example D33M, Example TCSD, Example DUTM, and Sage DM.
• Homework:
  • From http://linear.ups.edu/html/section-DM.html , do Reading Questions 2 and 3 and Exercises DM.C21, DM.C22, DM.C23, DM.C24, DM.C25, DM.C26, DM.C27, DM.C28, DM.C29, DM.C30, DM.M10, DM.M11, DM.M15 (this is how we will find eigenvalues!), and DM.M16.
• Use the following example and create your own problems:
