Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give the basic subjects of linear algebra such as solutions of linear systems of equations, the concepts of matrices, determinants, vectors in n dimension and vector spaces, linear transformations and operators.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   be able to analyse linear systems of equations using vectors and matrices.
2   be able to use the matrix algebra, inverse of matrices, elementary matrices and transpose of a matrix.
3   be able to apply determinant and its properties.
4   be able to understand vectors, linear dependence and linear independence of vectors, orthogonality of vectors.
5   be able to analyse vector spaces and subspaces using bases for subspaces, the dimension of a subspace, nullspace, column space and row space of a matrix, orthogonal complements of subspaces, orthogonal and orthonormal bases for subspaces.
6   be able to use linear transformations, their matrices with respect to bases, the Change-of-Basis formula for the matrix of a linear transformation and the orthogonal projection map onto a subspace.
