COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The course is an introduction to Linear Algebra, the rigorous study of the solution set of a general linear system. It is designed to make students proficient with the theory, technique, and especially the practice, of Linear Algebra in the following areas: linear systems, matrices and their echelon forms, vectors and linear independence, matrix theory, determinants, vector spaces and linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and orthogonality. Calculus 2 (1720) is a prerequisite for this course.
ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP TEST POLICIES:
While not mandatory, attendance is strongly recommended for a good performance in this course. Make-ups for documented emergencies only.
