Here is the list of suggested problems for your homework. They are all from the textbook.
You need to hand in the solutions only to the underlined problems.Please write down your solutions in order and staple them. And don't forget to put your name on the solutions, too!

I may sometimes assign problems for extra credit. These problems are marked as "Bonus" and do not necessarily involve more theoretical knowledge of linear algebra, but from a personal point of view, they look "nicer". The bonus problems will always be graded. Credit will be given only for the complete and correct solution. Please mention the word "bonus" on the page with the solution, to make things easier for everyone.
