Description:
Dive into a comprehensive 10-hour introductory course on Linear Algebra, emphasizing both conceptual understanding and practical application of key techniques. Explore major topics including solving linear systems, linear transformations, linear independence, bases, dimension, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, orthogonality, and the Gram-Schmidt process. Begin with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and progress through visualizing solutions to linear systems, matrix operations, vector spaces, and subspaces. Master techniques for finding inverses, determinants, and bases for nullspaces and column spaces. Delve into coordinate systems, dimension theorems, and change of basis operations. Investigate eigenvalues and eigenvectors, both geometrically and algebraically, and learn the power of diagonalization. Conclude with an exploration of dot products, orthogonality, and least squares approximations, providing a solid foundation for further study in mathematics and related fields.
