MAT 240 - Linear Algebra (4)

Prerequisite: MAT 231 with a grade of “C” or higher
Lecture: Four hours of lecture/discussion per week.

A study of matrices, linear systems, vector spaces, and linear transformations. This course serves as a transition between the Calculus sequence and upper-level mathematics courses. Topics include: matrix algebra, transposition, inversion, determinants, solving linear systems, vector spaces, subspaces, linear dependence and independence, spanning sets, basis and dimension, inner product spaces, Gram-Schmidt process, linear transformations, inverses of linear transformations, representation of linear transformations as matrices, range, rank, kernel, nullity, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Applications and construction of mathematical proofs are emphasized. Limited Transfer - See advisor for more information.

Note: This course is not offered this catalog year.
