Subject aims/Content Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of vector spaces and linear transformations. What is studied in this course is a system of linear equations, analyzing geometric transformations, and understanding the properties of vectors and matrices. The study of linear algebra involves examining how these vectors and matrices interact and transform in various mathematical contexts. One of the basic concepts in linear algebra is the concept of vector spaces. Vector spaces allow exploration of concepts such as linear freedom, range, and basis. Moreover, linear transformation is another important aspect of linear algebra which describes how vectors change under certain mathematical operations. They can be represented by matrices, where each column of the matrix corresponds to a certain basis vector image. On the other hand, eigenvalues and eigenvectors play an important role in linear algebra. They are related to linear and matrix transformations, representing special vectors and scalars that remain unchanged, except for scaling, under the action of transformations or matrices.
