Math 3330: Undergraduate Linear Algebra

• Help Outside Class Time

  • Instructor's office hours (through Tues Dec 8):
    Tues and Thur 3:20-4:00 pm in PKH 105 or PKH 462, or by appointment.

  • Office hours of other instructors of Math 3330 can be found online;
    e.g., MW 3:00-3:50 PM in PKH 463.

  • You can also go to the Math Clinic in PKH 325 for help; tel = (817) 272-5674, web = https://www.uta.edu/academics/schools-colleges/science/departments/mathematics/lrc/uta-math-clinic/ .

• Course Information Sheet.

• Homework. Make sure you are viewing the most current version of the homework page and not the version in your browser's cache; reload the page from source, or clear the cache and reload the page. Skimming through the main ideas in a section shortly before that section is covered in class should help you understand the lecture -- try it!
