Objectives of the Course:Linear Algebra is a Math of the systems of linear equations and their solutions. There are a variety of applications of Linear Algebra. Sufficient knowledge in this field can assist students in learning other (more applicable) courses as Linear Programming Problems, Operations Research, Problems of Optimization ,etc. The main objectives of the course are • To extend the students knowledge on the Systems of Linear Equations • To realize the main areas of applicability of LA
Course Description:Introduction to matrices. Fields and vector spaces, linear transformations, change of basis. Linear equations, existence and classification of solutions, Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition. Characteristic equation of a matrix: eigenvalues, eigenvectors and the Jordan form. Numerical techniques for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Inner product spaces, quadratic form.
Learning Outcomes:1. Students will read, interpret, and use the vocabulary, symbolism and basic definitions used in linear algebra, including vectors, matrices, vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, span, basis, dimension, linear transformation, inner product, eigenvalue and eigenvector
2. Students will identify and apply the theorems about and the characteristics of linear spaces and linear transformations. Determine bases, compute dimensions, evaluate linear transformations, solve systems of linear equations and find determinants
3. Students will apply properties and theorems about linear spaces to specific mathematical structures that satisfy the linear space axioms.
