  1. Introduction • The central problems of Linear Algebra are to study the properties of matrices and to investigate the solutions of systems of linear equations • Given A and b, find x for Ax=b; i.e., solve Ax=b • Given A, find λ (lambda) such that Ax=λ x

  2. Matrices and Linear Systems of Equations • Matrix notations and operations • Elementary row operations • Row-echelon form • Matrix inverse • LU-Decomposition for Invertible Matrices • LU-Decomposition with Partial Pivoting • Some special matrices

  3. Determinants • Definition of Determinant det(A) or |A| • Cofactor and minor at (i,j)-position of A • Properties of determinants • Examples and Applications

  4. Vector Space and Linear Transform • Vector Space, Subspace, Examples • Null space, column space, row space of a matrix • Spanning sets, Linear Independence, Basis, Dimension • Rank, Nullity, and the Fundamental Matrix Spaces • Matrix Transformation from Rn to Rm • Kernel and Image of a Linear Transform Projection, rotation, scaling Gauss transform Householder transform (elementary reflector) Jacobi transform (Givens’ rotation) • An affine transform is in general not a linear transform Vector norms and matrix norms

  5. Orthogonality • Motivation – More intuitive • Inner product and projection • Orthogonal vectors and linear independence • Orthogonal complement • Projection and least squares approximation • Orthonormal bases and orthogonal matrices • Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process • QR factorization

  6. Eigenvaluesand Eigenvectors • Definitions and Examples • Properties of eigenvalues and eigenvectors • Diagonalization of matrices • Similarity transformation and triangularization Positive definitive (Semi-definite) matrices • Spectrum decomposition • Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) • A Markov process • Differential equations and exp(A) • Algebraic multiplicity and geometric multiplicity • Minimal polynomials and Jordan blocks
