Structure:
- Review of Orthogonal Matrices
- Brief overview of isometries
*The rest of the terms I can probably integrate in as I go, as long as they're familar with those two concepts they should be able to follow along*
Presentation:
-Terms and theorems sheet. I'll leave space so they can write in the proof as I go through it.
- I can read of the sheet, but I won't be able to use my packet since it lacks order. Restructing needs to be done.
*I need to meet with the professor to get a better idea of what the scope of my lecture is*
