Course Short Description
This is an introductory course in linear algebra. The course will introduce the basic concepts and
techniques of linear algebra, along with the insights of its wide applications in physics, economics
and social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. The course will require the development of
theoretical results, which will require the use of mathematical rigor, algebraic manipulation, and
geometry.
This course covers, but is not limited to, the study of systems of linear equations, matrices,
determinants, vectors and vector spaces, basis and dimension of vector spaces, linear
transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and their applications. Computer software will be
used to enhance the learning of the topics and techniques covered.
Course Objectives
Students are required and expected to attend all classes regularly and on time and participate in
class discussions. North South University mandates to fail students who are absent 25% or more
