This is the common calendar. For course policies, please read the syllabus carefully.

For past midterm and final exams, please visit the 1553 exam archive.

Also, see Prof. Jankowski's Spring 2022 lecture recordings. He recorded most of the lectures from that semester, though a few had technical difficulties.

Check out the games and demos page, our reference sheet, and the interactive row reducer, which is great for checking your steps as you perform row reduction.

In addition to the slides below, Dan Margalit has written a set of his own slides, which you can find here.

Please note that the schedule is tentative and may be changed without notice, especially before the semester begins.

Sections listed below correspond to Interactive Linear Algebra by Margalit and Rabinoff. We encourage you to look at the overview before the first day of class.
