Linear Algebra

1 Course Unit

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of linear algebra balancing computational skills, geometric intuition, and theoretical understanding. Students will explore systems of linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, determinants, orthogonality, spectral theory of self- adjoint maps, and quadratic forms. Applications to data fitting, dynamical systems, singular value decomposition (SVD), and differential equations highlight the relevance of linear algebra in mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering.
