DESCRIPTION
The following subjects will be covered in this course:
- solving systems of linear equations;
- linear (in)dependence;
- matrix operations;
- determinants;
- vector spaces and subspaces;
- basis and dimension of vector spaces;
- rank of a matrix, the rank theorem;
- coordinate systems and changes of basis;
- eigenvalues and eigenvectors;
- diagonalisation of matrices;
- LU and QR factorisations of a matrix;
- inner product, length, orthogonality;
- orthogonal projections, method of least squares;
- symmetric matrices and their orthogonal diagonalisation;
- quadratic forms;
- singular value decomposition of a matrix
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
