The first week of the summer linear algebra course is over and appears to have gone quite well. With the exception of maybe 3 or 4 students (out of approximately 20), the dynamic has gotten quieter and quieter. I haven't caught anyone full out sleeping yet though, so that's a good sign I suppose. We've completely covered the first 2 chapters of the text we are using, and I've already gotten a number of comments that I should do a few more examples. Hopefully I will have the time to do this as we get to the more difficult material. There's just only so many examples you can do of determining whether a transformation is linear or not, or determining the geometric interpretation of a 2x2 matrix!
Next week we start covering chapter 3, which deals with subspaces and their dimensions. It seems that I should be able to do a bit more example wise with this material. We'll see.
