Linear Algebra 嘥 | |
Course description | |
Linear algebra provides indispensable tools to analyze various mathematical phenomena appearing in engineering. In this course, we will learn various computations based on matrices so that we can treat more abstract notions such as vector spaces at hand. |
|
Expected Learning | |
The goal of this course is to be capable of performing basic operations on matrices. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps |
