I think this page needs to list the course textbook. I do not have it on me right now, however, so someone will have to add it.
Also, if anyone is interested in typesetting the lectures I think they should follow these Wikipedia guidelines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MSM
Finally, whoever put the class notes on the front page should probably move them to the appropriate class page.
title of the Textbook
the title of the textbook is:
LINEAR ALGEBRA by Friedberf, Insel and Spence. 4th edition. Publisher: Prentice Hall.

Modular Arithmetic
This was particularly interesting after being introduced to Modular Multiplication tables and seeing some visual patterns with the numbers, such as the in the '1' column where the elements go from 1 to n-1 in Zn and backwards in the 'n-1' column.
After searching around, it seems that people had been able to discover other, more interesting patterns!
Make sure to analyze the tables since they begin from the bottom left corner instead of top left which we saw in class.

The following site allows you to see tables up to mod 30.
