| Description: |
Solve linear systems of equations, vector equations, and matrix equations. Investigate properties of linear transformations and vector spaces. Calculate determinants, eigenvectors, and eigenvalues. Analyze geometric data including distance, projections, and equations of surfaces. Apply theory to practical problems such as coding theory, dynamical systems, and curve fitting. (Learning Goals:Q) |
| Learning Goals: |
These are my goals for you over the course of the semester. I would also be interested to hear any other goalsyou have for yourself. Students will successfully communicate mathematics through reading, writing and speaking. Students will value peer collaboration and group learning while continuing to maintain a sense of self-motivation and personal understanding. Students will work to solve dicult problems. Value the process of guring them out yourself, ratherthan just searching for \the answer." Students will assess their own understanding of the material and know when they need read more, thinkmore, or ask more questions. Students will understand the concepts of linear algebra as the building blocks and language of higherlevel mathematics:{ Understand vector and matrix computations.{ Have a deep understanding of the fundamental de nitions: vector space, linear independence, basis,dimension, etc.{ Extract contextual meaning from (possibly long) calculations, and make use of the solutions. We will all have FUN learning linear algebra together. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here. |
