Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: To improve abstract thinking skills by equipping students with the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and to gain the ability to use these concepts in solving engineering problems.
Course Content: Systems of linear equations and their solution sets, linear transformations, matrices and matrix operations, determinants, vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, dimension, bases, change of basis, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, inner product, orthogonality, singular value decomposition.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Solve a system of linear equations using matrix reduction (elimination).
2) Represent linear transformations as matrices and, conversely, interpret matrices as linear maps; do basic arithmetical operations with matrices and find the inverse of an invertible matrix.
3) Compute determinant of a matrix and comprehends the properties of determinants.
4) Find the dimension and basis of a vector space and its subspaces,analyze some fundamental subspaces.
5) Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix via characteristic equation, identify whether a matrix is diagonalizable or not, learn how to diagonalize the symmetric matrices and to learn singular value decomposition.
6) Knows the concepts of length, distance and orthogonality in inner product spaces, and produce an orthogonal basis for any of its subspaces.
