Applications in Adv Numerical Linear Alg

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of linear algebra, towards topics relevant to applications as well as theoretical concepts. The course starts with a review of matrices, linear systems, subspaces, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and orthogonal vectors. Then it introduces the basic techniques, analysis methods, and implementation details of numerical linear algebra. Emphasis will be given on the matrix computations that arise in solving linear systems, least squares problems, and eigenvalue problems. Students will demonstrate knowledge by completing a final project that demonstrates understanding of linear systems applications.
