MAT 272 - Linear Algebra

Linear systems, matrix algebra, vector spaces, with emphasis on Euclidean n-spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, orthogonality, and selected applications. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in MAT 122 or MAT 236. Fulfills: LASR. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code A = offered every semester

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Solve systems of linear equations using Gauss-Jordan elimination.
  2. Perform basic matrix algebra and calculate determinants, inverses, and eigenvalues of matrices.
  3. Relate properties of sets of vectors to properties of matrices.
  4. Describe vector spaces and their subspaces, find bases for and calculate the dimension of vector spaces.
  5. Analyze a linear transformation based on its characteristics as a matrix including null space, column space, and invertibility.
  6. Use vectors and matrices to represent points and linear transformations in Euclidean vector spaces.
  7. Distinguish matrices based on their properties such as invertibility, diagonalizability and singularity.
