Skills you’ll learn
Overview
In this module, you will be introduced to the fundamental branch of mathematics called Linear Algebra. The three main topics of study, which are closely related to each other, will be matrices, systems of linear equations, and vector spaces. These mathematical structures can be used to model the world around us. It’s no wonder that some experts suggest ‘’when a problem can be reduced to one of linear algebra it is solved". What you learn in this module will be useful in your future studies.
Learning highlights
- By the end of this module, students will be able to identify when a particular application they encounter in future studies is ripe for a solution via linear algebra. In practical terms, this module aims to produce students who can perform computations with matrices and large linear systems while at the same time understand the concepts behind these techniques. The students will learn explicit skills such as Gaussian elimination and diagonalisation, in order that vectors and matrices become calculational tools, rather than abstract mathematics.
