Next week (week 4) I’ll be holding my tutoring hours Wednesday 6:30-8:30pm instead of Friday 5-7. Hope to see you there!
Tutoring changes, Fri. Jan. 25
- Due to illness, tutoring in the Cave from 2 to 5 is cancelled.
- Tutoring is still scheduled from 5 to 7.
- I will try to hold some tutoring time this afternoon via video conference;
stay tuned for updatessee this post for info.
Modification to CSS posting due time
Because Pyxie has tutoring hours until 7pm on Fridays, the CSS submission due time is now moved to be from 6pm to 7pm.
A reminder that (in addition to tutoring hours in the QuaSR), there is PSAM specific tutoring in the Cave on Fridays from 2-5pm (Sheena) and 5-7pm (Pyxie) and Sunday 4-6pm (Slade).
Correction to EM PS#3
For EM PS#3, please replace 2.26 with 2.28. I apologize for the confusion.
Winter Quarter PSN Logs
No need to print these out, but here they are for your reference. CM and QM PSN Logs were handed out in class at the first CM Qu¡xam. EM and APLS: EA PSN Logs handed out Wed. Jan. 23.
Video: Essence of linear algebra, ch. 12: Change of basis
In QM on Tue. Jan. 22, we’ll watch Chapter 12: Change of basis, from the Essence of Linear Algebra series on YouTube. I think your understanding is improved by multiple viewings of this video (of the whole Essence of Linear Algebra series, actually), so if you have time to watch this video on your own before we watch it together, feel free. The video is just under 13 minutes long.
