MATH6040: Winter 2024, Week 3

Test 1

The test will be in the first Tuesday lecture, 8 October, of Week 5. See Canvas (MATH6040 —> Assignments) for further details.

Week 3

We finished Chapter 1, and the material for Test 1, by talking at the applications of vectors to work and moments. We started Chapter 2, on Matrices.

Week 4

We will look at Matrix Inverses — “dividing” for Matrices. This will allow us to solve matrix equations. We might also look at determinants.

Some deeper discussion here: Why do we multiply matrices like we do?, Why can’t I divide by zero?
