Offered
F and possibly W
Prerequisite
Math 213 is required. Math 290. Math 371 recommended, but not required.
Description
Theory and advanced topics of linear algebra.
Desired Learning Outcomes
Prove: Students will be able to prove central linear-algebraic results, as well as other results with similar derivations.
Distinguish: Students will be able to distinguish between true and plausibly-sounding false propositions in the language of linear algebra.
Construct: Students will be able to construct examples and counterexamples illustrating relations between different linear-algebraic concepts.
Categorize: Students will be able to categorize linear-algebraic structures according to their properties.
Calculate: Students will be able to calculate precisely and efficiently, choosing appropriate methods.
Prerequisites
