Abstract
Introduction to Linear Algebra
Objective
Basic knowledge of linear algebra as a tool for solving engineering problems. Understanding of abstract mathematical formulation of technical and scientific problems. Together with Analysis we develop the basic mathematical knowledge for an engineer.
Content
Introduction and linear systems of equations, matrices, quadratic matrices, determinants and traces, general vector spaces, linear mappings, bases, change of basis, diagonalization, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, orthogonal transformations, scalar-product, inner product spaces. Calculation with MATLAB will be introduced in the first exercise class.
