DESCRIPTION
This course covers:
- systems of linear equations
- linear (in)dependence
- linear transformations and matrices
- matrix operations
- determinants
- vector spaces and subspaces
- basis and dimension
- rank of a matrix, dimension theorem
- coordinate systems and change of basis
- eigenvalues and eigenvectors
- diagonalization of matrices
- inner product, length and orthogonality
- orthogonal bases and least-squares problem
- diagonalization of symmetric matrices
- quadratic forms
- singular value decomposition
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.
