1. The vector space of $3\times 5$ matrices, $M_{35}$ is isomorphic to what fundamental vector space?
  2. A basis for $\complex{3}$ is \begin{equation*} B=\set{ \colvector{1\\2\\-1},\, \colvector{3\\-1\\2},\, \colvector{1\\1\\1} } \end{equation*} Compute $\vectrep{B}{\colvector{5\\8\\-1}}$.
  3. What is the first “surprise,” and why is it surprising?
