    MATH 1025 – YORK UNIVERSITY – WINTER 2024


    PRACTICE MIDTERM

    The real midterm will have similar questions to these, either of equal difficulty or easier. There will
    be 9 questions, each worth 10 points. The best way to prepare for the midterm is to practice these
    questions, do the homework, and go over the examples done in class. Everything up to and including
    Class 11 (Homework 1 and 2 on WebworK) is fair game for the midterm.

    Know the complete definitions of the following terms:

    • Linear equation
    • The three elementary operations
    • Augmented matrix
    • Row echelon form
    • Reduced row echelon form
    • Pivots
    • Homogeneous systems
    • Rank
    • Matrix addition
    • Transposes
    • Symmetric matrices, skew-symmetric matrices
    • Vectors
    • Dot product
    • Matrix multiplication
    • The identity matrix
    • Matrix inverse
    • Elementary matrices

    You will be asked to define at least one of them on the real midtem.
