    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This course develops the techniques and theory needed to solve and classify systems of linear equations. Solution techniques include row operations, Gaussian elimination, and matrix algebra. Properties of vectors in two and three dimensions are investigated, leading to the notion of an abstract vector space. Vector space and matrix theory are presented including topics such as inner products, norms, orthogonality, eigenvalues, eigenspaces, and linear transformations. Selected applications of linear algebra are included. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC (C-ID: MATH 250)
