Course Description: Topics include systems of equations, Gaussian elimina-
tion with partial pivoting, LU{decomposition of matrices, matrix algebra, determinants, vector
spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues, and applications.
If you take Math 3191 and/or Math 3195 you will receive no credit for this course.
Prerequisites: Math 2411
Required Textbook: David C. Lay, Linear Algebra and its Applications, Addison Wesley, 4th
edition, 2012. ISBN-10: 0321385179, ISBN-13: 9780321385178.
Calculator: Calculators are not allowed for exams.
Learning Outcomes: To learn how to solve linear systems and to represent them in various
ways by using vectors and matrices, to master the concepts of a vector space, of linear
independence, and of a linear transformation, to acquire knowledge of dealing with matrices,
determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors, to gain understanding of orthogonality and the inner
product, and to get a feeling for applications to real-world problems. At the end of the course,
you should have an appreciation of the phenomenon of linearity in various guises. The
competencies you will develop should include facility with matrix and vector manipulation,
knowledge of the properties of matrices, a good grasp of the concepts of a vector space and a
basis.
Homework: Homework problems will be assigned daily. However, I will not collect the
homework for a grade. You will be allowed to use your homework and textbook for daily
quizzes. Therefore, it is important that you complete your homework each day.
Quizzes: At the beginning of each class, a daily quiz will be given to you. While I do not collect
homework, most of these problems will be taken from the homework assignments. However,
some problems may not be from homework. If you are late to class or miss class, you may not
make up the daily quiz without prior approval. Do not be late!
Extra Credit: There is NO extra credit. I will drop your worst two quizzes. I will also drop your
worst progress exam and replace it with your Final Exam score if it improves your grade.
Computing Your Final Grade: Your final grade will be determined as follows:
Graded Quizzes /Project 100 points
Exam 1 100 points
Exam 2 100 points
Exam 3 100 points
Final Exam 100 points
Total 500 points
The letter grade scale is:
A: 92-100% C+: 78-79.9%
A-: 90-91.9% C: 70-77.9%
B+: 88-89.9% D: 60-69.9%
B: 82-87.9% F: 59.9% and below
B-: 80-81.9%
Homework Guidelines: Mathematics is not a spectator sport. You must engage with the
material to learn. Rule of thumb: plan to spend two to three hours out of class (reviewing your
lecture notes, reading the text, and working problems) for every hour spent in class. It is
important that you seek help from your instructor or your colleagues if you get stuck. I
encourage you to form study groups. If you have homework questions that are not answered in
class, it is your responsibility to get help outside of class from me or one of your colleagues.
Disruptions: Class disruptions (cell phones, music, etc) and any other inappropriate behavior
will not be tolerated. I will penalize accordingly. Please see the CU-Denver Code of Student
Conduct for details.
Talk to Me: I’ll give my best effort to make this class run smoothly for you, but it is important
that you communicate with me when any issues arise or if there are any problems/concerns.
Drops and incompletes: You have until June 12 to drop the course with only the instructor’s
(but not a Dean’s) signature. The incomplete policy of the department and college is strictly
enforced. Incompletes are given only in situations in which a student has: (1) Successfully
completed 75 percent of the course (i.e is passing the course) (2) Special circumstances
(verification may be required) that preclude the student from attending class and completing
graded assignments, and (3) Made arrangements to complete missing assignments with the
original instructor. A CLAS Course Completion agreement is strongly suggested. Incompletes
are not granted for low academic performance.
Academic Dishonesty: Students are required to know, understand, and comply with the CU
Denver Academic Dishonesty Policy as detailed in the Catalog and on the CLAS website.
Academic dishonesty consists of plagiarism, cheating, fabrication and falsification, multiple
submission of the same work, misuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic
dishonesty. If you are not familiar with the definitions of these offenses, go to
http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/CLAS/faculty-
staff/policies/Pages/DefinitionofAcademicDishonesty.aspx. This course assumes your
knowledge of these policies and definitions.
Failure to adhere to them can result in possible penalties ranging from lowering a grade on an
assignment to dismissal from the University; so, be informed and be careful. If this is unclear to
you, ask me.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) Ethics Bylaws allow the instructor to decide
how to respond to an ethics violation, whether by lowering the assignment grade, lowering the
course grade, and/or filing charges against the student with the Academic Ethics Committee.
Students who have complaints about the course or instructor should: 1) meet with the
instructor face-to-face; 2) if not satisfied, meet with the Associate Chair of the math
department/unit, Prof. Steve Billups or the Chair, Prof. Jan Mandel; 3) if not satisfied, appeal to
the Associate Dean. No step in this process may be skipped. See "Procedures for Student
Grievances about Courses or Faculty, CLAS.”
Missing an Exam: If circumstances arise that prevent you from attending an exam, please
contact me ahead of time as I will be much more lenient. Unexplained absences will require
hard evidence such as a death certificate, hospital paperwork, etc.
Attendance at the final exam is mandatory. Having the final rescheduled is extremely rare
and is not permitted for reasons such as a plane ticket that was purchased earlier or
attendance at weddings.

Summer 2016 CLAS Academic Policies
The following policies, procedures, and deadlines pertain to all students taking classes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
(CLAS). They are aligned with the Official University Academic Calendar:
http://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/Registrar-dev/CourseListings/Pages/AcademicCalendar.aspx
Schedule verification: It is each student’s responsibility to verify that their official registration and schedule of classes is
correct in their CU Denver PassportID portal before classes begin and by the university census date. Failure to verify
schedule accuracy is not sufficient reason to justify late adds or withdrawals. Access to a course through Canvas is not
evidence of official enrollment.
E-mail: Students must activate and regularly check their official CU Denver e-mail account for university related
messages.
Administrative Drops: Students may be administratively dropped from a class if they never attended or stopped
attending, if the course syllabus indicates that the instructor will do this. Students may be administratively dropped if
they do not meet the requisites for the course as detailed in course descriptions.
Late adds and late withdrawals require a written petition, verifiable documentation, and dean’s approval. CLAS
undergraduate students should visit the CLAS Advising Office (NC1030) and graduate students should visit the Graduate
School (12th floor LSC) to learn more about the petition process and what they need to do to qualify for dean’s approval.
No Late Withdrawal petitions will be accepted once finals week begins July 26-30, 2016. Students will be referred to
CLAS Academic Standards Committee retroactive petition process.
Waitlists: The Office of the Registrar notifies students at their CU Denver e-mail account if they are added to a class from
a waitlist. Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they never attended, stopped attending, or do not make
tuition payments. After waitlists are purged, students must follow late add procedures to be enrolled in a course.
Students will have access to Canvas when they are on a waitlist, but this does not mean that a student is enrolled or
guaranteed a seat in the course. Students must obtain instructor permission to override a waitlist and this is only
possible when there is physical space available in a classroom, according to fire code.
