Course description and aims
Building on elementary facts about planar and spatial vectors learned at the high-school level, this course (with recitation) focuses on higher dimensional vectors and matrices, basics and applications of determinants, and systems of linear equations.
The aim of this course is to cover the basics of linear algebra, which will be fundamental for
science and engineering.
Student learning outcomes
Students are expected to understand the basics of linear algebra (such as fundamental facts about matrices and determinants) which are necessary for studying science and engineering.
Keywords
Vector, matrix, determinant, system of linear equations
