MATH 343: Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra

Class Program
Credits 4

An introductory course in Linear Algebra, from computational, theoretical, and geometric perspectives. Topics include linear independence, matrix operations, determinants, bases, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This course develops the idea of abstract vector spaces and linear transformations on these spaces, drawing examples from calculus. This course also provides the foundation for the further study of abstract structures in MATH 434 (Abstract Algebra). (spring)
