Today's theme is linear algebra problems (problems involving matrices, determinants, etc). Files: la-exercises.pdf A few exercises to consider before the meeting, distributed by email. Again, thanks to Sasha. imc_linear_algebra.pdf A nice handout with a few pages of linear algebra definitions and facts, followed by several pages of problems. Found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/research/events/seminars/areas/imc/2022-23/ putnamla.pdf A reverse-chronological list of Putnam problems featuring linear algebra. Found at https://www.math.utoronto.ca/barbeau/putnamla.pdf For solutions, see https://kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/ Postscript: four students attended, plus Sasha near the end. In fact we mostly worked through la-exercises.pdf, so we also did the first IMC problem.
