Linear Algebra
MATH 223
Spring 2012
| Section:
01
02
|
An alternative to MATH221, this course will cover vector spaces, inner-product spaces, dimension theory, linear transformations and matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, Hermitian and unitary transformations, and elementary spectral theory. It will present applications to analytic geometry, quadratic forms, and differential equations as time permits. The approach here is more abstract than that in MATH221, though many topics appear in both. |

Essential Capabilities:
Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning
This course will train students in classical quantitative techniques and develop their ability to logically reason through mathematical proofs.

Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
MATH223, Linear Algebra, is a deeper, more conceptual and somewhat more extensive study of linear algebra, offered as an alternative to MATH221, Vectors and Matrices. Students may not get credit for more than one of MATH221 and MATH223. MATH121 and MATH122 is strongly recommended as background, but not required. |
