Problem Set Number 2, Due Feb 6 or 7.

These problems can be done in groups of 4 or fewer, all of whom must be in the same section. All must sign the problem set.

This set is due at the end of section on Thursday or Friday, Feb 6 or 7. You can work on the set in your group during the section on Thursday or Friday.

The reading assignment for the second week is sections 1.3, 2.1 and 2.2.

There are a number of really pretty computer aids which can help you get a feel for the material for this week (and much of the rest of the semester).

The tools are at

TOOLS.

You can get the required plugin from

PLUGINS.

Another web site which might have the same thing in a more, or less, organized fashion:

OPTION.

These are really pretty neat and if you get them working then you can play with them til your heart's content.

The ones which are perhaps most interesting to our linear algebra class are LinearMatrixTrace, LinearParameters, and LinearTransform.
