MAT022A-003 Homepage (Winter 2001, CRN 79320)

MAT22A, Linear Algebra, offers an introduction to elementary linear algebra, a discipline which is an essential tool virtually everywhere where mathematics is applied in the natural sciences, engineering (including signal and image processing, and computer graphics), in mathematical modeling in disciplines such as economics, and also in other branches of mathematics itself. Its importance can hardly be overstated. For most of you this course will also be a first encounter with abstract mathematical structures and an exploration of the power of mathematical abstraction. We will go further than the abstract notions though, and use the software package Matlab to explore linear algebra in a variety of applications. This course is challenging, but I hope it will be a rewarding experience.
