This course in the algebra of n-dimensional space Rn with emphasis on the concrete and geometric, covers vectors and matrices; systems of linear equations and subspaces of Rn associated with them; determinants; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; questions of orthogonality. It will present applications to topics such as least squares approximations, Markov matrices, positive definite matrices as time permits. For a more conceptual treatment of n-dimensional space, see MATH223, Linear Algebra.
