<p><font face="serif">When you work the problems in section 7.2 only
focus only on calculating the eigenvalues. We ONLY need the
primary eigenvalue to calculate the spectral radius. The
eigenvectors are useful for other things -- but I really don't
have the time to dive into them right now. Explaining concepts
of linear independence and bases that span the eigenspace is not
something I want to do before your upcoming test.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Despite all of the problems with Anvil, cobra,
and limited access, I am wading through the projects. Anvil is
no longer sending e-mails (working on that). I am making
comments in your repos on anvil but am having to send e-mails to
you after the fact to check anvil. I hope to finish my first
pass tonight and will have comments to you via anvil/canvas.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Homework 6 generally looked good so we are on
track for our test on Friday. I am planning on tomorrow being a
workday for the project 2. I spoke to several students today
that had not even started the second part of the project.
Since I want you to have more time to ask questions about the
project I have moved the project 2 due date to the 29th. That
will open up this weekend and Monday for question. I will do a
short lecture on the first part of chapter 10 on Monday.</font></p>
