Please note that the schedule is tentative and may be changed without notice, especially before the semester begins. Students are encouraged to ask TAs to go over whichever problems they need the most help in during studio time, but a range of suggested sections for each studio are listed; please try to only ask for problems that are relevant to the suggested sections, and use office hours or Piazza to ask for problems in other sections.
Sections listed below correspond to Interactive Linear Algebra by Margalit and Rabinoff.
