MAS 3114
Computational Linear Algebra

Credits: 3

Prerequisites:

experience with a scientific programming language, and a grade of C or better in MAC 2312 (or in MAC 2512 or in MAC 3473).

Catalog Description:

Linear equations, matrices and determinants. Vector spaces and linear transformations. Inner products and eigenvalues. This course emphasizes computational aspects of linear algebra. (M) (MR)

Content:

MAS 3114 is a 3 credit course on linear algebra that the computational nature of the topics. These topics include linear algebra, matrices, determinants, vectors, vector spaces, linear transformations, inner products, eigenvalues, and applications.

Computer projects are assigned (around 4-6 per semester). Proofs are not stressed as much as in MAS 4105 Linear Algebra 1.

Many instructors require the student to learn MATLAB, a programming environment, for the projects.

This course is designed to serve science, computer science, quantitative science, and engineering majors, and mathematics minors. Mathematics majors are required to take MAS 4105.

Prerequisites:

MAC 2312 and knowledge of a scientific programming language.

Textbook:

Linear Algebra and its Applications, third edition, by Lay, with or without CD-ROM.

Recent Teachers:

Crew, Ehrlich, Hager, Keating, Keeran, King, Mair, McCullough, Olson, Pilyugin, Smith,R, Sultanic, Tiep, and Venkataraman.

Summer 2008 schedule:

  • Summer A: Section 0709, Periods MTWRF2, Room LIT.205, Instructor Yan
  • Summer B: Section 4800, Periods MTWRF3, Room LIT.125, Instructor Keeran
