The homework will be posted here. It will generally be posted on Friday, and be due the following Thursday. Note that to get full marks, you will have to show your reasoning for every question!

Friday, September 2 (due Thursday, September 8): Section 1.1: 4, 5(b)(d), 7(b)(f), 8(a)(b), 22; Section 1.2: 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11(b)(c), 12, 15(b), 23 (write down a brief explanation for each True/False question.)Solutions
Note: for Section 1.2, 11(b), mutually orthogonal means that each pair is orthogonal: that is, x is orthogonal to y, y is orthogonal to z, and x is orthogonal to z.
Friday, September 9 (due Thursday, September 15): Section 1.4: 1(a)(b)(i)(k), 4, 5, 14; Section 1.5: 1(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(n), 2(a)(c), 13, 16, 17, 18, 27 Solutions
Friday, September 16 (due Thursday, September 22): Review Exercises for Chapter 1 (starts on page 74): 1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 13, 17, 20(a)(b)(c)(e)(f)(m)(n)(o) (provide a brief explanation of each True or False question.) Section 2.2: 1, 2(a)(e) (the staircase pattern they are referring to is the "step pattern" of pivots, and is demonstrated on page 99 of the textbook.)
Friday, September 23 (due Thursday, September 29): Do the questions in this worksheet. (Note: When the system has no solutions, you do NOT need to state the dependent and independent variables.) Solutions
Friday, September 30 (due Thursday, October 6): Do the questions in this worksheet. Solutions
Friday, October 7 (due Thursday, October 13): Section 2.2: 11(c)(d), 13(a); Section 2.3: 1, 2, 3, 5(a)(b)(d), 9(b), 12; Section 2.4: 3(a)(b)(c), 4(a)(b)(c), 8, 13 (Note: The book uses slightly different notation from lecture: most notably, they use O for the zero vector, and B for the vector b.
Friday, October 14 (due Thursday, October 20): Do the questions in this worksheet. Solutions
Friday, October 21 (due Thursday, October 27): Section 3.1: 7, 13(a), 15(a)(c); Section 3.2: 2(a)(c), 4(b), 5, 6, 12(a); Section 3.3: 6, 10, 13(a)(b)(f)(g) (Note: Section 3.2, 8 has been removed. Also, in Section 3.2, 12(a), the row operation they expect you to use is the one we've called (Swap Row i and Row j) -- use the effect of that row operation on the determinant!)Solutions
