MATH 2318 - Linear Algebra



Introduces and provides models for application of the concepts of vector algebra. Topics include finite dimensional vector spaces and their geometric significance; representing and solving systems of linear equations using multiple methods, including Gaussian elimination and matrix inversion; matrices; determinants; linear transformations; quadratic forms; eigenvalues and eigenvector; and applications in science and engineering.

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

  • be able to solve systems of linear equations using multiple methods, including Gaussian elimination and matrix inversion;
  • be able to carry out matrix operations, including inverses and determinants;
  • demonstrate understanding of the concepts of vector space and subspace;
  • demonstrate understanding of linear independence, span, and basis;
  • be able to determine eigenvalues and eigenvectors and solve problems involving eigenvalues;
  • apply principles of matrix algebra to linear transformations;
  • and demonstrate application of inner products and associated norms.
