This course covers the concept and examples of vector space in linear algebra. Exercise problems will be presented within the lectures to cement understanding. This course is followed by "Advanced Linear Algebra II".
Prior experience with linear algebra using specific matrices is assumed, and this course discusses in detail the basics of vector space and linear mapping. These activities are important, also serving as practical exercises for students to acquire basic methods in learning other fields of advanced mathematics.
The important notions are as follows:
vector space, linear span, linear map, isomorphism.
linear space, linear map, linear span, isomorphism
