MATH 346: Linear Algebra

Course Description

This course is a proof-oriented, abstract approach to the study of finite dimensional vector spaces and linear transformations. Linear Algebra is central in mathematics and used heavily in other areas, such as computer science, economics, and physics. Topics include bases and dimension, matrices, determinants, inner product spaces, and characteristic values and characteristic vectors. Additional topics may include the Jordan Canonical form, the Spectral theorem, and Quadratic forms. Prerequisite: MATH 222 and 256 each with a grade of C or better. 346/546
