Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Basic course in scientific computing/numerical methods and a course in linear algebra.

Intended learning outcomes

The course is intended to provide basic knowledge about important matrix decompositions; such as the LU or SVD decompositions, and show how matrix decompositions can be used for analyzing and solving both practical and theoretical problems. The course also covers various important techniques from Linear Algebra, such as the Shur complement, convolutions, polynomial manipulation, or orthogonal basis generation. Both linear, and non-linear, least squares problems are also discussed in the course.
After the course students should be able to:

  • Discuss the most common matrix factorizations, and explain their properties.
  • Understand how the most common matrix factorizations are computed; and implement numerical algorithms for computing the most important factorizations.
  • Use matrix factorizations for solving both theoretical problems and practical problems from applications.
  • Discuss the usage of Linear Algebra techniques when solving important application problems, such as pattern recognition, data compression, signal processing, search engines, or model fitting.

Course content

  • Linear algebra: LU-decomposition, SVD, psuedoinvers, orthogonal transformations, Householder transformations, projections, QR-factorisation and least squares problems.
  • Eigenvalues: Normal forms, perturbation theory, Rayleigh quotient, the power method, invers iteration, transformation to Hessenberg and tridiagonal form, QR-iteration.
  • Non-linear system of equations and least squares problems: Newton's and Gauss-Newton's methods.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.

LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
