Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, students will learn elementary linear algebra.
In the first semester, students will learn vectors in a plane and in a space. The goal is to represent various figures in a plane and in a space using vectors.
Style:
We recommend that students prepare for each lectures.
If there is anything you do not understand in the lectures, please review it immediately and try to understand it. Active questions are always recommended.
It is not enough to understand basic contents once. Please train repeatedly.
The lectures plan may be changed according to the student's level of understanding.
Notice:
Mid-term exam and final exam will be carried out. Mini-exams may be carried out.
Evaluations will be made comprehensively by written exams (making up about 95% of the grade), by exercises and homework (making up about 5% of the grade).

Can take makeup exam in need aid up to maximum of 50 points.
