Course Description |
Linear algebra is one of the most important branches of modern mathematics, with extensive applications in the natural sciences and the social sciences. This course covers basic linear algebra needed in mathematics and it applications.
On completing this module, the student should be able to perform standard operations with matrices, solve systems of linear equations using the fundamental method of Gaussian elimination and Cramer’s Rule, describe elementary properties of finite dimensional vector spaces and linear transformations, and apply linear algebra to problems drawn from business, economics, ecology, demography and computer science.
