Goals. Study linear algebra (covering all of Lang's book) and multivariable calculus (Chapters 15-17 of Salas, Hille, & Etgen).

Class structure. Same as last quarter: meet with Professor Palmieri every day but Thursday, meet with Mark on Thursdays. There are no quizzes this quarter.

"Quiz" sections and the TA. On Thursdays you will meet with the TA, Mark Bun.

Homework. Weekly, just like last quarter, due each Thursday.

Midterms. We will have two midterm exams, on Friday, April 22 and on Friday, May 20. After I've graded each midterm, you will have a few days to correct some of your mistakes for some extra credit. I'll give you more details as the time approaches.

The final exam is on Monday, June 6, 8:30-10:20am.

Projects. This quarter, you will work on a project which explains some application of linear algebra. You will work in groups of 2 or 3 people. The final draft of the project is due on Wednesday, June 1. There will be several intermediate due dates in addition: I will provide details in a few weeks, along with suggestions for some possible topics.

Grading. The various components of the course are weighted as follows:

midterms	40% (20% each)
final	25%
homework	20% (I will drop your lowest homework score)
project	15%
