Linear Algebra is a public basic course for science, engineering and management freshmen. We choose North America popular text book, “Linear Algebra and Its Applications” by David Lay as our text book. If you are planning to study abroad, this course will help you familiar with the material and improve your English. You will learn systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, orthogonality, least squares, symmetric matrices and quadratic forms. The material is different from the linear algebra course in China. It is easy to learn from systems of linear equations that we are familiar with. You will see more informations about linear transformations which will help you understand some essential concepts in linear algebra.

   This course is taught by blackboard teaching method which indicate proof process clearly and easy to understand.

Learn concepts in linear algebra, such as linear systems, matrices, vector spaces, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, quadratic forms. Master the abilities of solving a linear system, find the rank of a matrix, finding a basis for a vector space, determining if a matrix is diagonalizable. Enhance the logical thinking ability. Have an idea to use linear algebra solve problems in real life.
