Learning Objectives: The objective of the course is:


● To introduce the concept of vectors in 𝑅𝑅 𝑛𝑛 .
● Understand the nature of solution of system of linear equations.
● To view the 𝑚𝑚 × 𝑛𝑛 matrices as a linear function from 𝑅𝑅 𝑛𝑛 to 𝑅𝑅 𝑚𝑚 and vice versa.
● To introduce the concepts of linear independence and dependence, rank and linear
transformations has been explained through matrices.

Learning Outcomes: This course will enable the students to:

matrices.
● Understand important uses of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the diagonalization of
matrices.
● Familiarize with concepts of bases, dimension and minimal spanning sets in vector
spaces.
