Please note, at all the seminars, there will be a 45-minute lunch break at about 12 noon, and another 45-minute supper break at about 6:00 pm.  There will also be additional 5 or 10-minute breaks throughout the seminar.  It is a good idea to bring your own food and drink as there is not much open on campus on the weekend.

Seminar 1:  Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Volume 1

The Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Midterm Exam Prep Seminar is designed to prepare students taking the MATH 1300 course for the midterm exam they will be writing on Feb. 28, 2012. Grant will be covering Lessons 1 to 8 in his study book (these are the lessons relevant to the midterm exam). 

Specifically, that means Grant will be teaching:
Lesson 1: Systems of Linear Equations
Lesson 2: Row-Reduction
Lesson 3: Matrix Math
Lesson 4: Inverse Matrices and Applications
Lesson 5: Elementary Matrices
Lesson 6: Determinants and their Properties
Lesson 7: Adjoint Matrices
Lesson 8: Cramer's Rule

This material will not be covered again at Grant's final exam seminar, so those of you taking the course by distance education may also be interested in taking this opportunity to review these lessons even though you have no midterm.

If you have a recent edition of Grant's Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Study Book (either the complete book or at least Volume 1), be sure to bring it to the seminar.  Grant is teaching from the September 2011 edition (white cover), but those of you with older books (blue or green covers) should be able to follow along all right.

You are still welcome to come along no matter what book you have, if you have one at all, but be sure to download a copy of Grant's Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Midterm Seminar Handout to see the questions he will be discussing.  Come prepared to write a lot of notes though.  If you would like to purchase a copy of Grant's book (no obligation to do so), you can either order one to pick up at UMSU Digital Copy Centre, room 118 University Centre, or you can arrange to have Grant provide you with one at the seminar.  Of course, you will have to pay the list price for the book ($45 + tax) on top of the $40 seminar price.

Please download this handout and bring a copy to the seminar if you do not have Grant's study book.  You should also compare this handout to your book if you have an older edition to ascertain if you think your book is adequate for the seminar.

Seminar 2:  Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Volume 2

The Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Final Exam Prep Seminar is designed to prepare students taking the MATH 1300 course for the final exam they will be writing in April, 2012. Grant will be covering Lessons 9 to 13 in his study book (these are the lessons most relevant to the final exam). 

Specifically, that means Grant will be teaching:
Lesson 9: Vectors
Lesson 10: Lines and Planes
Lesson 11: Vector Spaces and Subspaces
Lesson 12: Linear Independence
Lesson 13: Basis & Dimension

There simply is not time to go over the topics covered in Volume 1 of Grant's book also, other than how they apply to the topics in Volume 2.  Students are responsible for reviewing those topics on their own and are encouraged to attend the first seminar where Grant teaches Volume 1 in detail.

If you have a recent edition of Grant's Linear Algebra & Vector Geometry Study Book (either the complete book or at least Volume 2), be sure to bring it to the seminar.  Grant is teaching from the September 2011 edition (white cover), but those of you with older books (blue or green covers) should be able to follow along all right.
