Text and Video Lectures Text: Linear Algebra and its Applications, 4th or 5th ed., by David C. Lay. Gilbert Strang’s lectures based upon his book may be found at http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06linear-algebra-spring-2010/
Comments 1. Good homework cannot make up for poor exams nor good exams for poor homework. To do well in the course grade, students must have good homework and exams. 2. There will be approximately one set of homework problems assigned each week. These will be submitted electronically due at 9:30, the beginning of the following class. Solutions for each problem set will be distributed. 3. An excellent summary of expectations is found at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/ear/CodeOfConduct.html
Homework Specifications 1. Your solutions must be legible. If your writing is not legible, use a word processor. 2. Every sentence - even those using mathematical notation - must be readable. There must be clear subjects and verbs - not just random phrases. 3. Criticize your own solutions. You should be learning not only how to create solutions but how to recognize correct ones. If you wonder about having too much or too little detail, err always on the side of too much detail. 4. If you realize that your solution has gaps or errors, admit that. Put comments about such omissions or possible errors in boxes. 5. Test your computations whenever possible.
Tutoring Sessions Every Monday evening from 6 to 8 PM, there will be a session in GDC 2.502 to answer questions. The questions may arise from homework assignments or otherwise. Please realize this will not be a repeat of lectures. The TA and a tutor will be present to respond to questions. More fundamental assistance should be obtained from the TA or me.

How long does it take for this code to run?
After examining the code you believe that the running time depends entirely upon some input parameter n and
After examining the code you believe that the running time depends entirely upon some input parameter n and a good model for the running time is Time(n) a b·log2(n) c·n d·n·log2(n) where a, b, c, and d are constants but currently unknown.
So you time the code for 4 values of n, namely n 10, 100, 500, and 1000 and you get the times Time(10) 0.685 ms. Time(100) 7.247ms. Time(500) 38.511ms. Time(1000) 79.134 ms.
So you time the code for 4 values of n, namely n 10, 100, 500, and 1000 and you get the times Time(10) 0.685 ms. Time(100) 7.247ms. Time(500) 38.511ms. Time(1000) 79.134 ms. According to the model you then have 4 equations in the 4 unknowns a, b, c, and d: a b·log2(10) c·10 d·10·log2(10) 0.685 a b·log2(100) c·100 d·100·log2(100) 7.247 a b·log2(500) c·5000 d·500·log2(500) 38.511 a b·log2(1000) c·1000 d·1000·log2(1000) 79.134
These equations are linear in the unknowns a, b, c, and d. a b·log2(10) c·10 d·10·log2(10) 0.685 a b·log2(100) c·100 d·100·log2(100) 7.247 a b·log2(500) c·5000 d·500·log2(500) 38.511 a b·log2(1000) c·1000 d·1000·log2(1000) 79.134
These equations are linear in the unknowns a, b, c, and d. a b·log2(10) c·10 d·10·log2(10) 0.685 a b·log2(100) c·100 d·100·log2(100) 7.247 a b·log2(500) c·5000 d·500·log2(500) 38.511 a b·log2(1000) c·1000 d·1000·log2(1000) 79.134 We solve them and obtain: a 6.5 b 10.3 c 57.1 d 2.2 So the final model for the running time is Time(n) 6.5 10.3·log2(n) 57.1·n 2.2·n·log2(n)
These equations are linear in the unknowns a, b, c, and d. a b·log2(10) c·10 d·10·log2(10) 0.685 a b·log2(100) c·100 d·100·log2(100) 7.247 a b·log2(500) c·5000 d·500·log2(500) 38.511 a b·log2(1000) c·1000 d·1000·log2(1000) 79.134 We solve them and obtain: a 6.5 b 10.3 c 57.1 d 2.2 So the final model for the running time is Time(n) 6.5 10.3·log2(n) 57.1·n 2.2·n·log2(n)
and now we may apply the model Time(n) 6.5 10.3·log2(n) 57.1·n 2.2·n·log2(n) for a particular value of n (for example, n 10,000) to estimate a running time of Time(10,000) 6.5 10.3·log2(10,000) 57.1· 10,000 2.2· 10,000 ·log2(10,000) 863.47 ms.

Student: “Is there something funny about that problem?”
Student: “Is there something funny about that problem?” CLINE Professor: “You bet your life. It looks innocent but it is very strange. The problem is knowing when you have a strange case on your hands.”
CLINE Professor: “Geometrically, solving equations is like finding the intersections of lines.”
When lines have no thickness here’s the intersection?
but when lines have thickness where’s the intersection?
