| The official web page for this class is at www.math.nyu.edu/~wendlc/linalg. There you will find periodically updated announcements about homework, exams, some things you can download, and an up-to-date copy of this information. There is also a public web site associated with the textbook at www.laylinalgebra.com: here you can download various resources such as lecture notes and extra exercises. Be aware though that the site is not directly connected with NYU or our course, so not all of the material there will be relevant or appropriate for us. In particular, ignore the practice exams unless I tell you otherwise. |
