A course in the algebra of Real n-dimensional space with emphasis on the concrete and geometric. Covers vectors and matrices, systems of linear equations and subspaces of n-space associated with them, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, questions of orthogonality. Applications to topics such as least squares approximations, Markov matrices, positiive definite matrices as time permits. For a more conceptual treatment of n-dimensional space see Math 223, Linear Algebra.
