Prerequisite material

In as much as Math 300 is a prerequisite for the course, the 1st chapter of our textbook gives a fairly good review of what we want from that course.
From Math 251, we'll use properties of matrices and the abstraction experience gained from the notion of an abstract real vector space. If you need a concise review on introductory linear algebra, refer to the glossary I am usually handing out when I teach this course. It has been designed from the onset to remain useful for back reference later.
