PDF for tomorrow Wednesday available. ¡­

PDF for tomorrow Wednesday available. It is 8 pages, but

• pp1--2 are for information only;
• pp3--4 give the conceptual considerations for tomorrow's topic. Read so you understand the questions that will be asked.
• pp5--6 give the tool to answer these questions -- it will be presented thoroughly in class
• pp7--8 give the concept of linear independence. For tomorrow you only need to know that two vectors are linearly independent if they are non-proportional.

Notice also that the eigenvalue approach to definiteness will not be covered until later (on schedule for October 30th).

Finally, I have corrected the missing 1/2 in today's slides.
