-
Together with two other classmates, prepare a five minute presentation about an application of linear algebra that you find particularly interesting. Your presentation should be crafted so that your classmates can follow it using the knowledge they have gained as students in Math 25.
Your presentation should use 3-5 PDF slides that can be projected using a computer, and each member of your group should speak for roughly the same amount of time. Please email your slides to your instructor by 8:00 PM on Tuesday 10/12, and be prepared to speak on Wednesday or Friday.
