Linear Algebra

Catalog description

Introduction to linear algebra, including the study of vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, and systems of linear equations. Additional topics include quadratic forms and inner product spaces, canonical forms for various classes of matrices and linear transformations. Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs. More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course. Undergraduates who plan to attend graduate school in mathematics should take MATH 4330 instead of MATH 4310 .
