    Quite a bit of this pre-class assignment about vectors is motivated from Chapter 1 of the Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe Applied Linear algebra book. This material may be review for some students and may be new for others. It is expected that students review the chapter to help them understand the material better.

    Do This

    Review Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 in Boyd and Vandenberghe and become familiar with the contents and the basic terminology. If you find this material is difficult make sure you take advantage of the survey at the end of this assignment to ask your instructor questions about things that are confusing.

    Hint

    Many computers and smart phones have a “read to me feature”. Some students find it helpful to download the pdf of the textbook and have the computer read to them out loud while they follow along.
