Course Description
This course is providing a matrix oriented approach for an elementary introduction to linear algebra. It emphasizes on the methods and techniques. It builds for students the basic understanding and calculation skills on matrix operations, systems of linear equations, determinants, orthogonality, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Linear transformations may be touched on. It is particularly suitable for students without much mathematics background and intended to be major is Statistics, Economics, Business, and Life Sciences. Students in Social Sciences may also benefit.
Not for students who have taken MATH1030.
