Course Description

This course offers a rigorous treatment of linear algebra, including vector spaces, systems of linear equations, bases, linear independence, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, inner products, quadratic forms, and canonical forms of matrices. Compared with MATH 221 Introduction to Linear Algebra, more emphasis is placed on theory and proofs.

We will try to cover Chapters 1-8, and Chapter 10, time permits. We may cover these topics in a different order. Depending on time we may cover more (or delete) topics.
