Monday:
- Homework 0 As soon as possible, complete the survey
questions on Homework 0 (available on our canvas page) and upload
them to gradescope. This will let me learn something about
you, and will allow you to be familiar with gradescope so that
there are no issues with turning in your first assignment.
- Study: Read section 1.1 and start section 1.2
- Do: In section 1.1, do 2a and 3a. (The answers are in
the back of the book.) Also try 7. Note that a parallelogram
is determined by two vectors $\mathbf x$ and $\mathbf y$ as in
Figure 1.1 in the text. Then the midpoint of one diagonal is
$\frac12(\mathbf x+\mathbf y)$. Write the midpoint of the other
diagonal in terms of $\mathbf x$ and $\mathbf y$ and show that
they are the same vector.

Wednesday:
- Study: Read sections 1.2 and start section 1.3 of the
text. Having a look at Appendices A and B would be helpful.
Also Appendix C on fields might help . But we are going to settle
down and concentrate on the fields like the rationals, the reals,
or later the complex numbers. In fact, unless explicitly stated
otherwise, from this point on, you can assume that
our vector spaces are over either the reals or the complex
numbers.
- Do: In Section 1.2: 15, 16, and 18.

Friday:
- Study: Read Section 1.3
- Do: In Section 1.3: 3, 19, 23, 28 (Hint: consider #5),
and 30.
