Linear Algebra

Courese Objective
To master the basic theory and application, including the
system of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector
linear correlation, eigenvalue and eigenvector, quadratic forms
and linear transformation.

Some concepts are “abstract”, an important goal of the


course is to foster the students’ ability of abstraction thinking
and logical thinking, to improve the students’ ability to solve
practical problems.

Definition ( in the high school textbook)
• An equation in the variables x1 and x2 that can be
written in the form ax1+bx2=c, where a, b, and c are
real (or complex) constants (a and b not both zero),
is called a linear equation.
• The graph of this equation is a straight line in the
x1~x2 plane.
• A pair of values of x1 and x2 that satisfy the equation
is called a solution .
– x1 +2x2 = 3 x1 – 2 x2 = –1
– x1 +2x2 = 1

– x1 +3x2 = 3 x1 – 2x2 = –1

x1 – 2x2 = – 1

The values of x1, x2 …, xn that satisfy each equation


are called the solution of the System.

Definition
Inconsistent : A linear system has no solution.
Consistent : A linear system has at least one solution.

Three Bacic Row Operations that can be used on


a system to simplify a linear system to an
equivalent system:

Ⅰ.

Definition
A system is said to be in strict triangular form if in the kth
equation the coefficients of the first k-1 variables are all
zero and the coefficient of xk is nonzero (k=1, …,n).
Example: The system the solution is:

Row operations can be applied to any matrix, not merely to one
that arises as the augmented matrix of a linear system. Two
matrices are called row equivalent if there is a sequence of
elementary row operations that transforms one matrix into the other.

(−1)  Row3 + Row1

The four matrices are row equivalent the associated linear system
The linear equation systems with these
four matrices as augmented matrices is
equivalent and have the same solution .
Check: Elementary row operations on an augmented matrix never
change the solution set of the associated linear system. √ (True)
