Information for the midterm

Date: Thursday, October 18, 2018
Time: 6:30pm – 8:20pm.
Location: TBA.

Material for the midterm: Everything up to systems of linear equations, and their applications. In other words, the material stops before matrix operations.

Applications of linear transformations:
image manipulation with matrix mappings.
physics simulation (breaking).
physics simulation (fluids).
physics simulation (viscous material).
