MAT231 — Linear Algebra 3 Hours
This course is an introduction to the mathematical theory and application of matrices vectors vector spaces and linear transformations. Topics include the algebra of matrices for solving systems of linear equations the theory of finite-dimensional vector spaces and theorems and applications associated with eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Students will construct proofs of propositions involving the following matrices determinants vector spaces and inner product spaces. Applications of linear algebra will be examined. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in MAT 204 Semester Hour(s): 3 hour(s) Lecture / Lab Hours: 3 lec/week Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI): MTH 911 Footnotes * Calculus - It is highly advised that students complete the entire Calculus sequence at a single institution. Course content may vary widely among institutions depending on the credits assigned to each course, and completing the sequence at a single institution is the best way to assure that neither credit nor content is lost in transfer. ** Suggested electives include CIS 208 and / or MAT 230, and one Humanities or Fine Arts general education class.
