    This document provides information about the Linear Algebra course MAT185H1 S at the University of Toronto. The course is a continuation of linear algebra topics begun in ESC103. Key topics covered include vector spaces, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, and solving systems of ordinary differential equations. The lectures will follow online notes and begin at Chapter 4, assuming familiarity with Chapters 1-3. There will be examples and some applications discussed as time allows. The course includes tutorials and term tests in addition to a final exam worth 60% of the final grade. A weekly syllabus outlines the schedule and suggested practice problems.

    Linear Algebra
    MAT185H1 S

    Nuts & Bolts


    MAT185 is a continuation of linear algebra that was begun in ESC103.
    The essential topics in this course are vector spaces, determinants, eigenvalues and
    eigenvectors, diagonalization, and the solution of a system of ordinary differential
    equations. Our lectures will follow the notes, which will be available online at
    portal.utoronto.ca (Blackboard). The course begins at Chapter 4 but you must be familiar
    with the content of the first three chapters of the notes. Please take the time to review this
    material. The suggested supplementary volume, taken from Nicholson, is intended as a
    source of exercises and problems. The Nicholson text itself may be consulted as a second
    voice on the topic.
    This is a mathematics course and so you will see many proofs. You need to know not only
    the definitions and theorems but also to understand the proofs you encounter. The
    statements of results, and often their proofs, endow you with the tools and insight that you
    will need to do the suggested exercises and to understand future courses you may take.
    There are some applications in our notes and we shall include some in our lectures as time
    permits.

    Supplementary Volume: MAT185 Linear Algebra Problems, from W.K. Nicholson,

    Suggested Exercises [from MAT185 Linear Algebra Problems]


    You should do as many suggested exercises each week as possible. In the syllabus included
    at the end of this document, the problems indicated are from Nicholsons MAT185 Linear
    Algebra Problems, available from the UofT Bookstore. You should especially attempt the
    ones that are indicated in boldface as these will be taken up for discussion in the following
    weeks tutorial, time permitting. At the end of each chapter of the notes, there are also
    problems. These have appeared on past tests and exams.
    Please observe that the path through our course does not follow the same linear path in
    Nicholson. As a result, the batches of suggested problems appear a little unbalanced.

    Required Preparation: ESC103F


    Cancellations and Rescheduling: Owing to the Engineering Science Education
    Conference, lectures and tutorials are canceled on Friday, 23 Jan 2015. The lectures are
    rescheduled as follows:

    Tutorials: Tutorials will begin the week of 12 Jan 2015.


    Term Tests: The number and dates of the tests are to be determined. The duration of any
    test will be 90 minutes, commencing at 9h10 on the day of the test. Location of any
    test is also to be determined. Every student will write the same test at the same
    time. No aid is permitted.
    Appeals: The grade on any test may be appealed by resubmitting the test paper indicating
    on the front page which question is to be regraded. Any such appeal must be
    submitted by the end of the tutorial period in which the test paper is returned. Any
    appeal submitted later will not be addressed.
    Dates of the Term Tests: To be determined.
    Absence from Term Tests: Consideration for absence from a term test due to illness or
    extraordinary circumstances will require the student to present formal
    documentation.
    Final Exam: The final examination will cover the entire course work. The duration will be
    2 hours and 30 minutes. Every student will write the same exam at the same time.
    No aid is permitted. The final exam will represent 60% of the final course grade.
    Date of the Final Exam: To be established by the Faculty Office.
