Linear Algebra for Engineering Research
Designed for students interested in research, this course will cover topics in introductory linear algebra and their applications to mathematics, science and engineering. Students will learn about vectors, systems of equations, linear transformations, matrix algebra, determinants and vector spaces and apply them to an engineering research problem.
Topics covered:
-Algebra of vectors and matrices
-Solving systems of equations using matrices
-Understanding the algebraic and geometric views linear algebra
-Collaboration and study skills for college
