Linear Algebra

Aims of Course:

The  main  objective  of  the  course  is   to acquire the basic concepts and necessary skills in mathematics needed in different  disciplines  such  as  engineering  and  computer science.

Learning Experiences:

The course is offered in 40 hours of lectures with case studies, individual exercises, project work, class discussion, critical analysis, problem solving, and individual private study.

Course Learning Outcomes:

 Introduce the students to the field of matrices and it applications in solving systems of linear equations

• Understand Vectors in the plane and in 3-space Subspaces, bases and dimensions. Inner product spaces and Gram-Shmidt process are discussed.
• Illustrate the importance of determinants and their properties and their applications in solving systems of linear equations (Cramer’s rule).
• Explain eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices and their role in diagonalization of matrices.
• Introduce linear transformations and their applications in computer graphics.
