MAT223H1 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Row Echelon Form, Elementary Matrix, Linear Algebra
Document Summary
Exam analysis: mat223 linear algebra, midterm 1: test break down: The material covered for midterm 1 can be break down into 4 different topics: row reduced echelon form (rref) and solving linear system of equations, elementary matrices, vector space and subspace, span and linear independence. The test is usually 90 minutes, and worth 55 marks. There are usually 50 marks worth of computation questions with a 5 marks worth of proof questions at the end. This midterm, just as most of other midterms and finals in this course, is very computational in nature. Hence, the ability to quickly and correctly perform the fixed steps in solving different types of problem is essential to doing well in this midterm. Nonetheless, one should not disregard learning concepts as that helps you to understand and better perform computations as well as the last proof question.
