The course is designed to offer an introduction to the topics associated with working with systems of linear equations. Students will examine topics including linear systems, matrix operations, linear transformations, and vector spaces. We will not simply be solving linear systems but will explore the basic meaning and underlying theory of a vector space. The central theme of this course is the idea of a linear transformation, and our goal is to understand the different techniques and approaches to explore linear combinations of vectors.
