Title: A Dive into the IOLA Materials for Conducting an Inquiry-Oriented Course in Linear Algebra
Abstract: The Inquiry Oriented Linear Algebra (IOLA) project has been a 12-year initiative conducted by Wawro, Plaxco and others to develop instructional materials for an inquiry oriented first linear algebra course. The materials have recently been made available through a Creative Commons License.
In this talk we will discuss what a first course in linear algebra could look like using an inquiry-oriented approach, introduce the IOLA materials, and choose one unit to look at more closely.
