Intended learning outcomes

To give a unified framework for geometrical and algebraic techniques, with applications in analysis, mechanics, computer graphics, numerical analysis, mathematical statistics, control theory, linear optimization and other subjects. It is also included to develop the ability of using the mathematical language both written and oral. It is necessary for the participant to be able to

  • solve systems of linear equations
  • work with inner and cross product
  • calculate with matrices and determinants
  • calculate with vectors and coordinates in a vector space
  • determine the matrix for a linear transformation and the kernel and the range for such matrices
  • determine ON-basis in an inner product space
  • do orthogonal projection on subspaces and to use least squares approximations
  • solve problems by changing basis
  • determine and to use eigenvalues and eigenvectors in different problems
  • use the spectral theorem in different problems
  • determine the canonical basis of quadratic forms and to use these to solve geometrical problems.
  • carry out inspections of results and partial results, in order to verify that these are correct or reasonable
  • solve system of linear ordinary differential equations

    Course content

    Vectors, straight lines and planes. Linear systems of equations. Matrices and determinants. Vector spaces. Euclidean spaces.
    Linear mappings. Isometric and symmetric mappings. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Diagonalization. Otrhogonality. Quadratic forms. Distance and approximation. System of linear ordinary differential equations

    Teaching and working 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.
