Description

A continuation of 200-level linear algebra with computational and theoretical aspects and applications.

Matrix algebra is one of the main building blocks of modern applied mathematics. This course is a continuation of stage 2 linear algebra, and teaches both theoretical and computational matrix skills, along with applications.

Potential applications of the material in this course include data fitting, non-linear optimization, least squares, and image processing.

Learning Outcomes

  • This course will:
  • Cover linear progamming, applications, and solution via the revised simplex method
  • Look at orthogonal decomposition of linear systems
  • Introduce positive definite and other special matrices
  • Look at strictly convex quadratic programming and its applications
