M 221 - Introduction to Linear Algebra

4 Credit(s)

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be familiar with the vocabulary and notation of matrix and vector algebra and should exhibit competence in computing (algebraically and with the aid of computer software) solutions to systems of linear equations, determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. The student should also become acquainted with linear transformations, abstract vector spaces, and matrix factorizations. Topics will be motivated and will culminate with relative applications.

Prerequisite(s): STAT 121 or M 161 or M 171 grade of B- or higher; or c/i.
