Aim(s) of Course : This module aims to provide an accessible review of the linear algebra from the text book to long after the class. Linear algebra is an essential part of the mathematical background required of mathematicians, engineers, physicists and other scientists. It presents a source for undergraduate students. In general it covers an introduction to linear algebra which will be found helpful to all readers.

Course Contents : Students will be able to define matrices, matrix algebra, special types of matrices, elementary row and colon operations, echelon form, rank of a matrix, elementary matrices, inverses, equivalent matrices, determinants, properties of determinants, cofactor and adjoint of a matrix, derivation of inverse matrix, systems of linear equations, solutions of systems of linear equations, Cramer´s method, Gauss’s elimination method, vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, bases and dimension, coordinates, change of basis, inner product spaces, standard inner product, orthogonal subspaces, orthogonal complement of a subspace, inner product, inner product spaces, orthogonal basis, orthogonal matrices, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization methods, linear transformations, matrix representations of linear transformations, eigen values, eigen vectors, diagonalization, Cayley-Hamilton’s Theorem, quadratic forms, Hermitian forms, numerical applications.

Language of Instruction : Turkish

Work Place : İİBF clasrooms.
