    Description
    Develops the techniques and theory needed to solve and classify systems of linear equations. Covers solution techniques including row operations, Gaussian elimination, and matrix algebra. Investigates the properties of vectors in two and three dimensions, leading to the notion of an abstract vector space. Presents vector space and matrix theory including topics such as inner products, norms, orthogonality, eigenvalues, eigenspaces, and linear transformations. Involves selected applications of linear algebra.
