Final Exam

The final exam for Math 21b is scheduled on Saturday, Jan. 14th 2:15pm-5:15pm in Boylston 110.

Matrices provide the algebraic structure for solving myriad problems across the sciences. We study matrices and related topics such as vectors, Euclidean spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Of applications given, a regular section considers dynamical systems and both ordinary and partial differential equations. Accompanying an introduction to statistical techniques, applications from biology and other data-rich sciences are presented in a biology and statistics section.
