USEFUL LINKS
Here is a link to Prof. Strang's videotaped lectures at MIT. These are based on the material from his other textbook, Introduction to Linear Algebra, but they are very good and may help you review the material from Mth 261.

OLD NOTES
This is a second course in linear algebra and has mth 252 and mth 261 as a prerequisite. The focus is on developing a number of concepts in greater depth as well as introducing new ones which are very powerful for applications. In particular we will study orthogonality, eigenvalues, singular values, positive definite matrices and several applications.
The textbook for the class will be: Linear Algebra and Its Applications, Fourth Edition, by Gilbert Strang. Thomson-Brooks/Cole, 2006 (ISBN0-03-010567-6).
