This course begins abstract mathematics and is a good
introduction to all the methods of
modern abstract mathematics. This course is your finest initiation into
abstract mathematics which you won’t find
in any other course in the universities today. So take this opportunity to
develop this mode of
thinking. I wrote and linked some help at
http://math.kaist.ac.kr/~schoi/teaching.html
This course concentrates on justifying the linear algebra
theorems and procedures with
proofs, definitions and so on. You will learn to prove some theorems here.
(A part of the purpose of this course is to introduce you to proving theorems,
lemmas,
and corollaries.)
NOTE TO STUDENTS: There is also Section 212A where a different
philosophy of lecture is followed where more material will be covered.
You are expected to have prepared for the lecture by
reading ahead and solving
some of the problems.

Total 450pts
Exams will be given according to the KAIST schedule. There
are old exams at math.kaist.ac.kr/~schoi/teaching.html.
Quizzes: There will be a quiz almost every week. There will
be one or two problems to solve
given 20 minutes. The quiz problems are very similar or identical with the
homework problems.
One should prepare for them by groups of students working on homework problems
together.
The homework problems are not to be turned in.

I will be attempting to write revised lectures notes in ppt
files and post them here.
MIT Linear algebra
class (with recorded lectures)
There are
many Java applets to play around here. See demos. Lectures are given by Gilbert
Strang, the author
of one of the
textbooks above. This is more for engineers but has many worthy advanced
applied
mathematics
in it. This course corresponds to the introduction to linear algebra course,
one level below this one
MIT
Linear algebra class (This correspond to our course but without rational forms.)
성균관대학교 선형대수학(more computer algebra oriented.)
Homework sets: Do not turn in your works but you should
know how to solve these problems.
For quizzes, the teaching assistants will make problems similar to these. The
best way is
to study the problems that were taught on that day.
