COURSE DESCRIPTION
Linear algebra is the study of systems of linear equations and the related concept of vector spaces.
The class is focused on solution of concrete problems.
Required text: Elementary Linear Algebra, 7th edition by Ron Larson, Cengage.
Prerequisites: Math 1352/1452 or consent of the department.
Student learning outcomes: Math 2360 satisfies the university’s core curriculum requirement in
mathematics: Students graduating from Texas Tech University should be able to demonstrate the ability
to apply quantitative and logical skills to solve problems. It meets the following TTU general education
student learning outcomes for mathematics, that students will:
• Apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, statistical, and logical reasoning to solve problems.
• Represent and evaluate basic mathematical and/or logical information numerically, graphically, and symbolically.
• Interpret mathematical and/or logical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics, and draw inference from them.
In the class, the students will develop skills in manipulating matrices and understand their
connections to linear systems of equations. The students will develop an understanding of the
concept of vector spaces including bases, linear transformations, eigenvectors, and eigenspaces.
In particular the students will learn to
•
•
•
•
•
•
Solve systems of linear equations
Perform matrix arithmetic and compute the determinant of a matrix
Perform the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process
Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Recognize vector spaces and determine their bases
Express a linear transformation as a matrix
LEARNING ASSESSMENT
Graded assessment is done through homework and exams. Other assessment techniques will
also be used; these include direct questioning, problems to be solved in class, and discussions
during office hours. Additionally, problems will be assigned for student self-assessment. The
homework problems will be assigned out of the textbook and an online test bank; they will be
chosen such that they facilitate the students’ development of skills in manipulating matrices,
solving systems of linear equations, and determining bases for vector spaces. Exam problems
will be constructed such as to test if the students have acquired the skills and understanding
necessary to perform the five types of operations listed (•) above.
COURSE ORGANIZATION
Of the 45 class hours, 40 will be spent on lectures and 5 on exams and review. The plan is to
cover sections 1.1–1.2 (4 hours), 2.1–2.4 (6 h), 3.1–3.4 (4.5 h), 4.1–4.7 (8 h), 6.1–6.4 (7 h), 7.1–7.2 (5 h),
and 5.1–5.4 (5.5 h), with examples drawn from sections 1.3, 2.5, 4.8, 6.5, and 7.4. Exact reading
assignments are posted on the course homepage, which is updated after every class.
Exams: In-class exams take place on 6 Mar. and 24 Apr. The final is on 13 May, 1:30–4:00 pm.

ASSIGNMENTS, GRADES, AND GRADING
Two in-class exams are given during the semester. Homework will be assigned 12 times during
the semester and is due on Wednesdays. Each assignment has an online part in WeBWorK that
counts for 85% and a written part that counts for 15%. Students are encouraged to work together
on the homework problems. Results and grades are posted at www.blackboard.ttu.edu.
Grading policy: On exams and written homework, partial credit for correct steps will be awarded
even if the final answer is wrong. Full credit will be given only if the final answer and all
intermediate steps are correct. A correct final answer does not per se guarantee any credit.
Deadlines and make ups: Homework is not accepted after the deadline. In-class exams cannot
be made up; the final exam serves as make-up for exams that were missed for legal reasons.
Final grade: Homework (10 assignments) and exams (3) are counted towards the final grade with
weights as follows: Homework 30% (3% ea.), in-class exams 40% (20% ea.), and final exam 30%.
GENERAL POLICIES
Academic integrity: It is the aim of the faculty of TTU to foster a spirit of complete honesty
and a high standard of integrity. Any attempt of students to present as their own any work that
they have not honestly performed is regarded by faculty and administration as a serious offense
and renders the offenders liable to serious consequences, possibly suspension. Please see more
information on-line at www.depts.ttu.edu/studentjudicialprograms/academicinteg.php.
Civility in the classroom: You are expected to be courteous to me and your fellow students. This
means that your cell-phone should be turned off during the class; you shall not chat with your
friends during class, eat meals or snacks, or cause a distraction in any other way.
Officially approved trips: Students are allowed to miss class for trips officially sanctioned by
TTU. The student must notify the instructor of upcoming trips and present written authorization.

Religious holy days: You are allowed to take the time to travel and observe a religious holy day.
Prior notice should be given at least one week before the absence.
Students with disabilities: Any student who, because of a disability, may require special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make any necessary arrangements. Students should present appropriate verification from
Student Disability Services during the instructor’s hours. Please note instructors are not allowed
to provide classroom accommodations to a student until appropriate verification from Student
Disability Services has been provided. For additional information, you may contact the Student
Disability Services office at 335 West Hall or 806-742-2405.
