Introduction to Linear Algebra drps Edit on GitHub
the maths exams are open book, so take in past paper solutions (with an index) as they reuse questions a lot. they might not necessarily be the same, but they’ll likely be close enough to give you a hand
- Poole textbook: The Nicholson textbook is fairly hard to learn from, so it may be worth finding a copy of David Poole’s Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction, as it is much better at explaining concepts.
- No bullshit concept maps good for seeing the big picture in the course
- Linear algebra explained in 4 pages good resource to give you general idea. Might be worthwhile to go through it before the start of the course.
- Explanatory videos from Mathapptician
- Khan Academy videos
- Essence of Linear Algebra (videos) by 3blue1brown - covers a large part of the course and gives greatly intuitive ways of understanding what the formulae really represent
- Answers for Poole (3rd edition, 4th edition)
- Symbolab has extremely good support for linear algebra operations (and is great with other areas of maths too)
- Cheat sheet PDFs of the definitions and theorems to save you time in the exam (no need to search through the textbook)
- Not All Things ILA - better ila cheat sheet
- The Exam - 3 hours - Open Book
Section A: 40% - 6 questions - conceptual questions, a bit like Tophat
Section B: 60% - 4 questions (pick 3) - longer, conceptual questions
You may bring:- the Poole textbook
- any non-graphical calculator
- any notes (written / printed notes, nothing bound)
