Math 22 Summer 2017: RESOURCES
Theory
-
Basics of proofs:
-
Ferry
on several proof methods but not proof by example
(on p.2 the "minus sign with downtick on it's right end" symbol means
logical negation, ie "not the statement")
-
Orellana
on good writing and various proof methods
-
Scott LaLonde's notes on
contrapositive,
contradiction and induction
-
Introductions to proofs that go way beyond this course but could be useful
as long as you don't let them intimidate you:
Vandervelde,
Hutchins.
-
Applets showing the geometric effect of T(x)=Ax where
A is a 2x2 matrix:
-
Transformation of a
single
vector (red vector x
can be dragged, the result Ax is shown in
grey, the matrix A sits at the top
of the screen with its entries given by slider-bars i.e.
number lines).
-
Transformation of the
unit
square.
-
Transformation of
unit grid
lines (showing span of
the columns of A).
-
Review of theory results for abstract vector spaces.
-
Eigenvalue and eigenvector applets for 2x2 matrices:
Geogebra,
UCLA,
MIT OCW
(note the x-coord is plotted negated in the right-side plot!).
-
History of
Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process
(slides from Steven Leon et al).
