Matrix Algebra (MATH10200)

This is an introductory module in matrix algebra designed for computer science students.A course outline is given below.SLEs: solving systems of linear equations, in/consistent solutions, solution setsMatrix Operations: addition and multiplication of matrices, properties of matrix operations (assoc., dist. Laws etc), transpose, trace, inverse, determinant, partitioned matricesLinear Transformations: matrix transformationsApplications: network flow, input-output models, difference equations, computer graphicsStudents will be introduced to the MAPLE package, which has many pre-defined functions to deal with matrix computations. This will allow students to handle more complicated problems, closer to real-world applications.
