MAT640: Linear Algebra

MAT640 is an introduction to the theory of linear algebra, the study of systems of linear equations and their solutions.

MAT640 is an introduction to the theory of linear algebra, the study of systems of linear equations and their solutions. The interplay between algebra and geometry affords powerful and quite different insights into the subject. Topics include: Gaussian elimination, matrices and geometric transformations, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, diagonalization, and discrete dynamical systems. Although there are some applications, this course is quite abstract.
