Chapter 1

1.4: 1-8

  • Due 9/27 - Problems 1,5 are to be carefully written up and separated from the rest of the HW.

  • for 6, the line over γ means complex conjugate: If γ=a+bi, then conj(γ)=a-bi. The key properties of the conjugate that need verification are that
    conj(γ1γ2)=conj(γ1)conj(γ2) and conj(γ12)=conj(γ1)+conj(γ2). Also if γ is real, note that conj(γ) = γ since the imaginary part of γ is 0.
  • Solutions

1.5: 1-3,5-7,9-11

  • Due 10/4
  • for 2, p0≠ 0.
  • for 8, identify xi with xi+ i0 = (xi,0). Remember the complexification uses complex scalars.
  • for 10, replace start of hint with: "Assume A ε M is such that some entry is non-zero. Make it 1, by multiplying A on the left by an appropriate matrix. Then show ..." Consider the effect of left and right multiplication of a matrix A by a standard basis vector Eij described in example 10.
  • Solutions
