The aim of the course:
This course introduces fundamental concepts of linear algebra which are indispensable in all branches of basic sciences.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : Analyse linear systems and determine their solution or solutions, if possible1,2,3,41,
LO - 2 : determine the best approximate solution in case the system fails to have a solution1,2,3,41
LO - 3 : have knowlege and develop skills to handle problems on vector spaces and their subspaces1,2,3,41
LO - 4 : observe that the best approximate solution that one seeks in approximation problems is obtained thorough the orthogonal projections1,2,3,41,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
