Course Description: 
 Matrices, elementary row operations, vector spaces, linear 
 transformations, determinants, applications to system of linear 
 equations, bases and orthonormal bases, eignvalues, and eigenvectors. 
 Offered annually.

Course Objective:
		> To give the student a firm foundation of linear algebra
		> To prepare the student for solving system of linear equations.
> Emphases are on- skills in applying basic techniques of linear
    algebra to matrix representations of linear system of equations
 		    in order to effectively solve real-world math problems. 
 
Grades and Tests:  Grades will be determined by an average of the following:
			Grade Point Summary: ( 100% Total )
				          	Nos.  		Percent
			Attend/Participation		  10%
			Quiz/Test	 5 - 7    	  50%
			Problem Sets	 5		  10%
			Final Exam	 1      		  30%
			Homework	 6      		  Bonus ( +10%)
     
		Grade Scale:	A = 90 - 100%            C = 70 - 79%          F = Below 60%   
				B = 80 -  89%    	D = 60 - 69%	
		Tests/quizzes/final exam will be open book and open notes. Questions 
		will be on same lines as the material (from class lectures and homework)  
		being questioned. Calculator use is allowed, except when noted.

Academic Honesty Policies and Procedures

		Refer to University’s publication on this subject.
 
Curriculum Objectives:  At the completion of the course students will be able to:

		> Understand concepts and techniques to solve matrix problems.
> Understand and solve problems applying various techniques of 
   eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
		> Understand and solve problems of  determinants and vector spaces.
> Understand concepts and solve problems of matrix algebra and linear
    transformations

Course Assistance:
	Instructor Assistance
		Your instructor is available before and after class.  You may reach 
	the instructor by pager number 361-4499 or through  e-mail address
	(fminami@chaminade.edu), noting that you are a student in course name		
	and number; include your name, your phone number and e-mail address.
						
Attendance and Participation:

		Each student is expected to attend every class and to arrive on time.  Roll 	
will be taken. The student should e-mail the instructor as early as possible when 
the student will miss a class. Each student will be held accountable for all 
information presented in class, whether the student is present or not.  If a student 
can not attend a class on the day an assignment is due, the student must make 
arrangements to have it delivered on time. If a student will be absent on a testing 	
day, inform the instructor as soon as possible; and a request for a make-up test 
will be considered.  
		Participation by all students is important and is considered as an integral 	
	part of the learning/training process.  Participation before and after class are 	
	acceptable. All students should remain in class until the end of class time, 
	unless a valid reason is approved by the instructor.  Excuse notes are due at 
	the next class. Late turn-ins may incur penalty points.

Preparation For Class:
	
Study and stay ahead of the schedule, if possible.  Read the assigned material, work through examples and attempt to solve some problems before the
   	material is covered in class.  Have questions ready for the class meeting.
