MA25C02:
Linear Algebra
Course Objectives:
•
To impart foundational knowledge in linear algebra essential for analysing and
solving problems in engineering applications.
•
To provide the knowledge on computation using software and interpret key linear
algebra concepts using software.
Vector
Spaces Introduction to Vector Spaces, Examples, Subspaces,
Linear Combinations, Span, Generating Sets, Linear Dependence and Independence,
Basis and Dimension, Dimension of Subspaces.
Activities:
Open-Source software, exercises to test linear dependence and independence
using rank, compute span and basis of a set of vectors, determine the dimension
of subspaces, and illustrate the concept of subspace and basis in 𝑹𝟐/𝑹𝟑
with visualization.
Linear
Transformations and Diagonalization: Null space, Range,
Dimension Theorem (statement only), Matrix representation of a linear
transformation, Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors, Diagonalizability.
Activities:
Open-Source software, exercises to compute the matrix representation of a
linear transformation, find the null space and range of a matrix, and compute
eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix.
Inner
Product Spaces:Inner product, Norms, Cauchy, Schwarz
inequality, Gram, Schmidt orthogonalization, Simple problems (up to 𝑹𝟑).
Activities:
Open-Source software, exercises to compute inner products and vector norms.
Matrix
Decomposition: Orthogonal transformation of a
symmetric matrix to diagonal form
-
Positive definite matrices, QR decomposition, Singular Value Decomposition
(SVD), Least squares solutions- simple problems (up to 3 × 3 matrices )
Activities:
Open-Source software, exercises to check if a matrix is positive definite,
perform QR decomposition and SVD using built-in functions.
