Rhea Section for MA 265 Professor Momin, Fall 2010

Fall 2010, MA265 - Linear Algebra Sections 7-10

A wiki for this course can be found here MA 265

If you create a page that belong to this course, please write

[[Category:MA265FALL2010Momin]]

at the bottom of the page.

OTHERWISE NO CREDIT ! (If you use the "Create a child page" button, this should happen automatically...)

Getting started
- To start, click the "Help" button above and read what's there.
- To edit pages, first log in (with your purdue account to create pages. Then click "edit" (under "Page" above) and remember to click "Save Page" after you are done editting.).
- To get a quick idea what works how, click "edit" on this page to see how to do the things visible on this page.
- Note that the "edit" mode has a spell-checking feature: look for red-underlined stuff.

Creating pages
- To create a new page named "B" from a page A, go to edit page A and insert the text [[B]]. (Note that "B" is like a web address for a webpage. Each page also has a name, but you can call the link anything (like fancy_title) by typing [[B|fancy_title]] rather than just B. After saving, find the new red link on page A that appeared. When you click it, you'll note you are now on page B (which of course is empty at this point).
- NOTE: if the "new" link comes out blue, instead of red, you chose a title of an existing page and did not create a new one. The blue link gets you simply to the already existing one. Use distinctive names for your new creations!
- Be sure to place "[[Category:MA265Fall2010MominAl]]" on top of a new page. That way it will be parsed by the system as belonging to this course. (If you use click the "Create a child page" button in the left-tab while on this page, this will be done automatically.)

Write a page about one of the following topics.

The rest of the content of this page is up to you!
