On successful completion of this module students will be able to solve systems of linear equations and be able to apply this technique in a variety of ways. In addition students will be fully competent in basic matrix algebra. At the end of this module students will met several applications of matrices. Parallel with the theory in this course students will be introduced to a useful mathematics software package.
Indicative Module Content:matrix arithmetic: addition, multiplication, transpose
systems of linear equations: solving SLEs, gaussian elimination, Gauss-Jordan algorithm, applications of SLEs
square matrices: computing determinants, invertibility, computing inverses, properties of determinants
further SLEs: consistency theorems, applications
mathematics software: implementation in software, using mathematical package(s) as a learning tool
