Description and Objective

Linear algebra is the study of vector spaces and linear transformations. The main objective of this course is to help students learn in rigorous manner, the tools and methods essential for studying the solution spaces of problems in mathematics, engineering, the natural sciences, and social sciences and develop mathematical skills needed to apply these to the problems arising within their field of study; and to various real-world problems.

Learning Outcomes

After the completion of the course, Students will be able to identify and construct linear transformations of a matrix, characterize linear transformations as onto, one-to-one, can solve linear systems represented as linear transforms, can express linear transforms in other forms, such as matrix equations, and vector equations and characterize a set of vectors and linear systems using the concept of linear independence.
