Document Summary
Math 551 section a applied matrix theory. Lab f 3:30-4:20 pm, cw 144 or cw 145 or u 3:30 - 4:20 pm cw 145. This course is intended to emphasize the techniques and applications of linear algebra rather than the usual theorem/proof format. In particular, applications to engineering, economics, image processing, and computer science are presented. The course has an important computational component (using matlab) which is based on a number of programming projects. Material and structure: the material to be covered in this course is mostly contained in chapters 1-6 of the textbook and includes the following topics and its applications: systems of equations, matrices, vectors, orthogonality, determinants, eigenvalue problems. Some additional topics will also be included, particularly when it comes to current applications of matrix theory to engineering, image processing, and computer science. Students are expected to attend lectures and lab sessions, which will be used to explain new material, to work examples, and to answer questions.
