- Section 7.1: 1, 5, 7, 11, 12, [13]
- Section 7.2: 2, 10, 22, 23
Reading: Chapter 7, Sections 1 and 2. We will restrict our discussion of matrices to the 2x2 case, so whenever the book makes general statements in Chapter 7, you can always think of them in terms of 2x2 matrices. |

Homework 6 (Due Fri, Nov 8)
- Section 7.3: 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21
- Section 7.4: 4, 6, 7

Reading: Chapter 7, Sections 3 - 6. We will not explicitly discuss 7.3, but we will cover the material as part of the 7.2 and 7.4 lectures. As before, we will consider only 2x2 systems. |
