MAS 4105
Linear Algebra 1
- Credits:
4
Prerequisites:-
grade of C or better in MAC 2313 or MAC 3474 and in MAS 3300 or MHF 3202.
Catalog Description:-
Linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues, inner-product spaces. This course includes both theory and computational skills. The student is expected to develop the ability to reason through, and coherently write up, proofs of theorems. For math majors, this course serves as a transition from a study of techniques into more conceptual math; for engineering and science majors, it serves also as a coherent foundation in linear algebra.
Content: -
MAS 4105
is a 4 credit course on linear algebra that stresses
the theoretical aspects of the topics:
- vectors and vector spaces
- linear transformations
- linear equations and matrices
- determinants
- inner products
- eigenvalues
The course serves both as a transition for the mathematics major
from a study of techniques into more conceptual mathematics
and as a choherent foundation in linear algebra for engineering
and sciences majors. The student is expected to reason through
and coherently write up proofs of theorems as well as develop
computational skills. However, computational skills
are not stressed as much as in
MAS 3114 Computational Linear Algebra.
This course is designed to serve majors in mathematics
and those engineering and science students interested
in the theorectical aspects of the subject.
