Review Sheets

These are review sheets for some of the courses I taught. For each course, Review Sheets 1, 2, and 3 cover material (in order) for the first, second, and third exams. The final review sheet reviews the whole course. Each review sheet consists of problems, followed by solutions to the problems.

These review sheets are intended to help guide your studying, but they are not comprehensive. They were written for my courses, and your instructor may cover different topics, and do things differently. Also, the review sheets don't explain topics from scratch; they assume you've seen the material, and want some problems to practice. If you want more background on the material, you can check my course notes.

Linear Algebra Review Sheets

Note: I taught linear algebra in a non-standard way (specifically, I used fields of nonzero characteristic for many examples). If you're taking a standard linear algebra course, many of the problems in the reviews will probably not make sense to you. In particular, if you see a problem which refers to "Zn" where n is some number (usually 2, 3, 5, 7), you should probably ignore it. (But I still think it was a good way to do linear algebra!)

These reviews cover number systems (commutative rings with identity and fields), matrices, row reduction, inverses, determinants, vector spaces, subspaces, independence and spanning, bases, subspaces for matrices (row space, column space, null space), linear transformations, change of basis, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, systems of linear constant coefficient differential equations, the exponential of a matrix, inner product spaces, coordinate transformations in the plane, unitary and Hermitian matrices, the Spectral Theorem, and basic Fourier series.
