Problem Sheet 1

1. The document is a problem sheet from a linear algebra course that contains 13 problems involving linear systems of equations, matrix factorization methods like LU and LDU, and properties of linear dependence between points and vectors. 2. The problems cover topics like determining the number of solutions to a system based on its coefficients, constructing matrices with certain properties, factorizing matrices, inverting matrices using Gauss-Jordan elimination, and determining linear dependence between points and polynomials. 3. The problems are presented without solutions to be solved by students as part of their coursework.
