Course Description

This course is a continuation of Honoured Linear Algebra I (MATH 1038). It is a second course on linear algebra and will cover basic concepts of abstract vector spaces over general field, direct sum, direct product, quotient spaces, existence of basis by Zorn's lemma, linear transformations, dual spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalizability, operators on inner product spaces, orthogonality and Gram-Schmidt process, adjoint, normal and self-adjoint operators, spectral theorems, bilinear form and Jordan canonical forms. More emphasis will be put on the theoretical understanding of basic concepts in linear algebra.

Honesty in Academic Work

The Chinese University of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating and plagiarism. Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University. Although cases of cheating or plagiarism are rare at the University, everyone should make himself / herself familiar with the content of the following website:
