MATH 254 is a first course in the theory of Linear Algebra. The only prerequisite is a good understanding of Calculus, M150. We will learn different analytic and geometric techniques for solving systems of linear equations, for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and for manipulating linear transformations. Specific examples frm interdisciplinary areas will be covered as time allows it. Mathematical software such as MATLAB will be used to eliminate tedious calculations and for developing a better understanding of concepts and methods.
