MATH 264 - Linear Algebra I

Institution:

Valparaiso University

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

The purpose of this course is twofold: to introduce students to mathematical reasoning and to explore topics in linear algebra. By studying the mathematical vocabulary and the logical structure of the foundation of linear algebra, students learn the fundamental logic of deductive and inductive reasoning; encounter and construct proofs of elementary theorems using direct, indirect, existence and inductive arguments; and understand the role of mathematical definitions and counter examples. Topics in linear algebra include systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vectors in n-space, abstract vector spaces, and linear transformations. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or 168.
