Course description
In this course, the notion of vector spaces and linear maps are introduced. More specifically, we will first learn basic properties of vector spaces and their bases. Then, we will also introduce the definition of linear maps and observe the relation between linear maps and matrices. In particular, the properties of a change of basis will be investigated. Finally, we will learn about eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices and their applications.

This course is taught by a part-time lecturer. Once the employment of the part-time lecturer is confirmed, this syllabus may be modified. In this case, the official version is the modified syllabus.
Expected Learning
The goal of this course is to be capable of:
(1) constructing a basis of a given vector space,
(2) calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of square matrices of order 3,
(3) solving problems about inner product of vectors and orthonormal bases,
(4) performing diagonalization of square matrices.

Message from instructor(s)
Some topics introduced in this course may seem abstract and difficult to understand at first. However, in fact, they are closely linked with the topics which we learned in Linear Algebra I. Concrete examples in the lecture or in the textbook will help to improve your comprehension.
