MATH 146
Linear algebra 1, Winter 2023. Tutorial slides and handouts.
In Winter 2023, I was one of the teaching assistant for MATH 146, linear algebra 1.
Here contains some notes and slides I prepared for the tutorials. In particular, for the hangouts, exercises are included.
In the slides, you will see my deadname, please just ignore!
In this slide, I tried to motivate the notion of linear transformation by trying to find a general formula for Fibonacci sequence.

In this tutorial, I provided an alternative definition of determinants, based on the permutations (in the course we defined determinants recursively using row/column expansion).

Here I explained how to use linear algebra to encode messages and detect errors.

In the slides, I tried to explore the seemingly innocent question of when would a linear recurssion eventually be positive.
