About the textbook

Textbook Our text is Ninth edition of "Linear Algebra with Applications” by Gareth Williams, ISBN 9781284120097. You will need to do lot of reading out of this, and will need a reference when you talk engineering or math classes after this that use linear algebra. Not every detail in the book will be covered in the classroom. Do not skip the reading. The Eight edition 978-1449679545 is acceptable, but there is one section missing so you will need some workaround. Used eighth editions are available online for a low cost.

Accessing Matlab

You will need to use Matlab software for a few of the homework assignments, and some of you might want to use it a bit more. It is available at computer pods across campus. For a listing, see http://it.unm.edu/pods/software/index.html for locations. It is also possible to get a copy for your personal computer http://it.unm.edu/download/. This will be worth the hassle of installing if you think you will need Matlab for other purposes.
