Course Description:
Systems of linear equations. Vectors in -space, vector equations of lines and planes. Matrix algebra, inverses and invertibility. Introduction to linear transformations. Subspaces of -space. Determinants. Introduction to eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The dot product and orthogonality. Applications in a variety of fields, numerical methods. Prerequisites: Pure Mathematics 30 or Mathematics 30-1. This course cannot be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in MATH 102, 120, or 127.
Course Objectives and Expected Learning Outcomes: * To learn the fundamental concepts of linear algebra in * To learn topics useful in other disciplines; including systems of equations, determinants and eigenvalues * To communicate, both orally and in writing, the theoretical and computational concepts in linear algebra
