MATH 005 Linear Algebra

Units: 4
Prerequisites: MATH 002 Calculus II, with a grade of “C” or better.
This is an introductory course in Linear Algebra. This course develops the techniques and theory needed to solve and classify linear systems of equations. Techniques include elementary row operation, Gaussian elimination and matrix algebra. Properties of two and three dimensions vectors are studied and abstract vector spaces are introduced. Vector space and Matrix theory are presented. Topics include linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenspaces, orthogonality, norms, and inner products. Applications of linear algebra are included. (UC, CSU, C-ID MATH 250)
