Overall Educational Objective To learn the fundamentals of matrix theory and linear algebra relevant to engineering problems.
Course Description This course provides general concepts on linear algebra by covering the following topics: Systems of linear equations and matrices, Gaussian elimination, matrix algebra, inverse of a matrix, elementary matrices, LU-factorization, the determinant of a square matrix, the properties of determinants, Cramer’s rule, vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, basis and dimension, change of basis, inner product spaces, orthonormal basis, linear transformations, matrix representations of linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Solve the systems of linear equations by using Gauss elimination;
2) Compute the inverse of a square matrix and solve the systems of linear equations by using matrix inversion;
3) Compute the determinant of a matrix and solve the systems of linear equations by using Cramer's rule;
4) Comprehend the concepts span, linear independence, basis, and dimension, and apply these concepts to various vector spaces and subspaces;
5) Comprehend linear transformations and compute their matrix representations;
6) Compute the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a matrix.
