MATH223
Linear Algebra
MATH223 SP
Next Offered in 9899 SP
An alternative to MATH221, this course will cover vector
spaces, inner-product spaces, dimension theory, linear
transformations and matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and
eigenvectors, Hermitian and unitary transformations, and
elementary spectral theory. Applications to analytic
geometry, quadratic forms, and differential equations as
time permits.
The approach here is more abstract than that in MATH221,
though many topics appear in both.
MAJOR READINGS
Textbook to be announced.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Weekly homework assignments,
midterm and final exams.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
MATH223, Linear
Algebra, is a deeper, more conceptual and somewhat more
extensive study of linear algebra, offered as an alternative

credit for more than one of MATH221 and MATH223.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the
first class, they will be dropped from the class list.
NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form
to the Registrar's Office.
