     The course of “Linear Algebra” includes the


    following topics:
     Systems of linear equations. Elementary row

    operations. Gaussian Elimination method of


    solving the system of equations
     Matrices, types of matrices, transpose of a

    matrix. Operations on matrices: addition,


    subtraction and multiplication of a matrix by
    a scalar, multiplication of matrices
     
     Matrix representation of a system of equations.
    Echelon form of a matrix, rank of a matrix.
    Distinguishing between consistent and
    inconsistent system of equations based on rank of
    matrices
     Determinant of a matrix, its properties.
    Calculating of determinants by expansion in the
    row or the column using the minors and cofactors.
     Solving the system of equations by using Cramer’s
    rule. Inverse of a matrix. Solving the system of
    equations by using inverse matrix.
     Applications to systems of linear equations.
    Solving real-life and engineering problems by
    using the system of equations.
     Vector spaces. Definitions and examples.

    Subspaces and spanning sets. Linear

     Basis and dimension. Change of basis.

    Orthonormal vectors. Gram-Schmidt


    Orthogonalization.

     Algebra of linear operators. Matrix

    representations of linear operator.


     Eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Characteristic

    polynomial.
     Diagonalization of a matrix.
    System of linear equations
     System of linear equations is a set of two or
    more linear equations. A solution to a system
    of equations is an ordered pair that satisfy all
    the equations in the system.
     A system of linear equations can have:
     Exactly one solution
     No solutions
     Infinitely many solutions
     Systems of linear equations can be solved by
    different ways: graphically, by substitution or
    by elimination.
     Example 1. Solve the system of equations:


     Let’s consider the system of equations

     To solve the linear system, we apply the


    elementary row operations (EROs) below to
    the system to reduce it to one in which the
    “A” part is upper triangular (all the entries
    below the diagonal are zero). We then use
    back–substitution to solve the new system of
    equations, starting with the bottom equation
    and working upwards.
    Definition: The three types of EROs are:
     1: interchange two rows;
     2: multiply a row by a non-zero number;
     3: add a multiple of one row to another.

     Example 2. Solve the system of equations


     Example 3. Use elementary row operations to
    solve the system of equations
     Systems with nonunique solutions
     It is also possible for a system of linear

    equations to have an infinite number of


    solutions or no solution at all.

     Example 4. Solve the system of equations


     Example 5. Use elementary row operations to
    attempt to solve

     Example 6. Solve the equations
