Linear Algebra ?U | |
Course description | |
Linear algebra provides indispensable tools to analyze various mathematical phenomena appearing in engineering. In this course, the notion of a vector space and a linear map between two vector spaces will be introduced. We will learn various basic properties of a basis and the dimension of a vector space, and the image and the kernel of a linear map. We will also learn about an eigenvalue and an eigenvector, for deep understanding of linear algebra. |
|
Expected Learning | |
The goals of this course are (1) to understand vector spaces, linear maps, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, inner products and diagonalization, and (2) to be capable of performing their practical calculations. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps |
