Course description and aims
This course covers the concepts and examples of vector spaces and linear maps in linear algebra. Exercise problems will be presented in the lectures to cement understanding. This course is followed by "Advanced Linear Algebra II".
Knowledge in concrete linear algebra using matrices being assumed, this course deals with abstract treatment of vector spaces and linear maps. This is important not only in its own right but also as practical exercises for students to acquire basic skills in learning other fields of advanced mathematics.
Student learning outcomes
To understand important notions such as vector space, linear map, representation matrix, characteristic polynomial, eigenspace, Jordan normal form, etc., and to become able to make use of them.
Keywords
vector space, linear map, representation matrix, characteristic polynomial, eigenspace, Jordan normal form
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Standard lecture course accompanied by discussion sessions
