Students in this course will study the concept and examples of vector space in linear algebra. Exercise problems will be presented in class to cement understanding. This course follows "Advanced Linear Algebra I. "
Prior experience with linear algebra using specific matrices is assumed, and this course discusses in detail from the basics of vector space to linear mapping to eigenvalues and the like. These activities are important, also serving as practical exercises for students to acquire basic methods in learning other fields of advanced mathematics.
Important notions are as follows:
vector space, linear span, linear map, isomorphism, commutative diagram, representation matrix, eigenvalue, eigenspace.
linear map, dual space, quotient space
