Course Objectives
- State precise definitions of key terms introduced in the course, including systems of linear equations, vectors, vector spaces, dimension, linear independence, matrix terminology, eigenvectors and eigenvalues.
- Carry out basic computations from linear algebra by hand, such as row reduction, determinant calculation, etc., as well as use MATLAB to carry out more intensive computations.
- Produce simple deductive arguments that follow from the definitions and justify steps in deductive arguments based on basic logical principles.
- Write sentences that explain the relation between key ideas in linear algebra and the algorithms that allow their calculation, e.g. the definition of a linearly independent set of vectors versus the computation of a linear independent set of vectors from a spanning set.
