Complements to linear algebra I, Math 80146
Announcements:
- January 15. It was agreed on
the last class that the final quiz will be hold on the lecture on January 22.
It will be a multiple choice test on the topics we studied during the
semester.

Material:
· This course is a companion of
the basic linear algebra course 80134. I will present various important
complementary material that is skipped in 80134 due to time restrictions. This
course is more challenging (and, hopefully, interesting) and the speed of
exposition will be substantially higher.
Grading:
·
There is only a pass grade in the course. It will be assigned in the end on
base of a short exam on the last class.
Lectures:
- November 13. Constructions
with sets: disjoint union, products, powers. Invertible maps of sets.
- November 20. Actions and
their properties: unit, inverse, associativity, commutativity. Groups and
groups of automorphisms (symmetries) of objects. S_n=Aut({1…n}). Also, you
can find here
notes of the lecture taken by Amit Novick.
