Final Problem Set 
Here is a list of the questions that might be helpful  to prepare the Final. Although the questions on Final will not be 100% the same as the questions on the problem set, the concepts are the same and useful. 

Outline:
In class, I would like to use slides to present/recall important definitions and statements so that we can have more time to look at examples and proofs.  
Chapter I: Vector Spaces and Linear Maps
Section A: Vector Spaces
​Section B: Linear Transformations
Section C: Bases and Dimension - Part 1 Part 2
     

Chapter II: Matrices and Determinants
​Section A: Matrices 

Section C, D: Determinants and Inverses 
Section E: Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues  (updated, Mar 1)
Section II-E & I-D: Diagonalization and Direct Sums



Chapter IV: Inner Product Spaces
Section A, B, C:  This part was covered by Mr. Po-Han Hsu, so please check the slides (provided by Po-Han) on the moodle page.
Section D: Orthogonal and Unitary Matrices
Section E+: Spectral Theorem --- Matrix Version
The Spectral Theorem

Chapter III: Rings and Polynomials
Section C: Cayley-Hamilton Theorem --- Class Slides



Simple Notes --- Spectral Theorems
I will split the section III-C: Spectral Theorems into few parts. In these notes, I summarize some basic properties without proofs. Please find examples on the slides. 
Part 1: Diagonalization .   2 easy examples
Part 2: Inner Product Space

Additional Problem Sets:  
Vector Spaces
Linear Maps
Diagonalization Problem
