Final Grades & Survey Posted Above
December 26, 2013
Sorry for the delay in getting the final grades up. Technically they are unofficial until you
see them on Aurora, but if the grade you get on Aurora is different than what is here, be sure
to contact me. I would definitely appreciate it if you could take a few minutes
and fill out the survey you will find above as well. Thanks everyone for a great term! I wish you
all the best of luck in your future academics and career endeavours. Happy new year! -Rob

Some last minute posts
December 8, 2013
Hey guys. My weekend ended up being incredibly busy, and I am only just now (Sunday 10pm)
sitting down
on the computer for essentially the first time. At this point I still havn't created
the solutions
for any old exams, so unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll get them up - it would still take
me an over an hour to make the solutions, and then scan them and post them, and it's doubtful that
anyone would see them and find them useful at this point. Very sorry for that.
What I can post (and have done) is the following:
Extra Exam Prep Class

drop in as you see fit. Good luck on the exam! -Rob

Assignment 3 Marks
November 22, 2013
Hey everyone. Sorry, the official marks for assignment 3 will be later in coming than
expected - things came up this afternoon and I wasn't able to get them done.
But, all that is missing is the (potential) bonus marks for Q6. I have posted the marks
for the regular portion of the assignment above (not including bonus). -Rob
Assignment 5 Posted
November 20, 2013
See below. Remember that, as discussed in class, there will be an optional
6th assignment which will be posted in the next few days, which will consist
of 100% proofs. If you do the 6th assignment, we will mark it and your assignment
mark will be made up of the best 5 out of 6 of the assignments you handed in. -Rob

Posted above. Keep in mind that, as usual, you are welcome to come by and see me after you get your
test back if you disagree with any of the marks. Just please compare it to the solutions
on the web first, and then come ask about it. -Rob
Considering Dropping?
November 12, 2013

Help is first-come first serve. -Rob

Request for Sample Test(s)
October 30, 2013
As discussed in class, I unfortunately do not have time to create a sample test
to offer. However, I thought this would be worth offering: if you have the time, put
together what you think would be a good sample test, and email it to me. Be sure
to include some proofs and some calculation questions, and some nice True/False or Fill
In The Blank questions. You can get your questions out of the book or from any other
resource. Email me the questions (please actually write the questions out in the email,
rather than just referencing a chapter/question in the book), and if your exam is sufficiently
close to a good sample exam, I will type it up, and post it on the website. Further, I
will choose one question from all the sample exams I receive and will put that question
on the actual test. Since I need to get the test made asap, all potential sample tests
must be in to me by Fri Nov 1 at 9:00am. Thanks! -Rob

Requested Proof
October 1, 2013
A while ago, I told someone I would post the proof that (AB)^T = B^T A^T, and I haven't
done it yet. So here it is. Assume that A is m by n and B is n by p.
I will prove that: Here's the proof: Hope that helps! Assignment 1 Solutions Posted

you will find them helpful! -Rob
