This assignment is a review of some pre-requisite topics. It is not necessary to turn it in, although you should do
these problems to make sure you understand the concepts.
The first four problems are a review of some mathematical concepts. You should be able to do
these problems by hand, but it is ok to check with a computer.
4 2
1. Consider the matrix A .
1 1
a) Find the transpose of A
b) Find the determinant of A
c) Find the trace of A
d) Find the inverse of A.
e) Which of the following vectors is an eigenvector of A?
x = (-1 2)T x = (2 1)T
x = (0 1)T x = (1 0)T
5. Matlab exercises.
a) Create a matrix A, any size and shape you want, and fill it with arbitrary values.
Compute AAT and ATA. The results should be square, symmetric matrices.
b) Write a Matlab program to produce the first 30 Fibonacci numbers.
