1. Set 2 of the class notes has been modified and reposted. Material has been added covering the lecture comments about finding the nearest element of a linear variety, i.e., not the smallest normed element, in Corollary 2.6 and Theorem 2.7 (p. 29 -- 31) and the consistency of projection onto a subspace and a linear variety being consistent with the conditions for projection onto a convex set (p. 42 -- 44).

1. Graded Homework 1 has been posted. It consists of a set of written problems and a programming assignment.

2. Note that the written problems are due in one week while the due date for the programming assignment will be set when we complete the relevant lectures that begin Monday.

3. Also, note the Canvas announcement that clarifies "grading based on effort" described in the syllabus and during the first lecture. This applies to all aspects of class, i.e., graded homework and class participation/attendance. The latter is particularly important to note since it has not been adhered to sufficiently well in the first three weeks of class lectures. Failure to adjust may adversely affect your semester grade.
