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.
