Assignments for Week 9

Project Assignment Due Monday, December 3.

You can choose your own topic or use one of the prefabricated projects at the link below. The project should include.

Abstract
Explanation of an interesting application of linear algebra
Example(s) or solved problems.
Bibliography with all references used.

The project should be word-processed and printed on paper, but extra credit if you submit a digital version (e.g., Word doc, web pages, pdf file) as well.

Answers to questions

How long should it be? As long as it takes to do the job, but probably 3 or 4 pages is too short and 10 pages is getting to be too long. But the idea is to give a good explanation and substantial examples.
Can I use computers or calculators? Yes, by all means.
