*Bonus problems*
One bonus problem is included on each hmwk and is denoted with asterisks. A bonus problem is worth up to 1 point. Each one should be submitted separately (on its own page, unstapled) from the rest of your homework.
You may choose to do some bonus problems and not others, but you must earn at least 3 bonus points by the end of the course to avoid a penalty. Points earned above the 3 point threshold will be added to your overall homework score as extra credit.

| Linear Algebra at HMC (Fri, Dec 12) |
Together with two classmates, write a 3-5 page (double-spaced) paper about a specific application of linear algebra at HMC (e.g., in a class, a lab, or a clinic) by faculty or students who are not in the mathematics department or majoring in mathematics. Your paper should be written so that your classmates can follow it using the knowledge they have gained as a student in Math 12. Note: You will also be asked to give a 5 minute presentation of your paper on Tuesday or Wednesday of week of Dec 8 - 12 (i.e., on Dec 9 or Dec 10). | |
