Learning outcome
By the end of this course a successful student should be able to:
- Be familiar with some of the techniques and ideas in linear algebra.
- Be able to deal with systems of linear equations. Understand the connection both between the set of solutions and vector spaces, and between linear systems and linear transformations.
- Understand the use of orthogonality and manage to construct orthogonal basis for certain vector spaces.
- Be able to deal with the diagonalizationproblem.
- Be able to solve elementary linear problems using a programming language such as Python.
