Analysis and Linear Algebra K, Kf, Bt, part A, 2004

home, week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7

Theory

Goal:
Understanding vectors and fundamental vector and matrix algebra, including projections, rotations, reflections etc. Further, linear systems of equations and a first taste of the important concepts linear dependence/independence of vectors, and basis.

Understanding the fundamentals of complex numbers and their arithmetic, and the basic fact that any n'th degree polynomial equation has exactly n roots.

Minimum reading: 20.23-47; 22

Exercises:
20.1, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.6, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 20.10 (note misprint: ..a onto b onto (1,2) with.. should read ..b=(1,2) onto a with..), 20.11, 20.12 (see 20.13), 20.14, 20.15, 20.16, 20.17, 20.18, 20.19, 20.20, 20.21, 20.22, 20.25, 20.26, 20.27. Consider bold first, then the rest!

Matlab

Goal:
Getting more familiar with the matlab syntax for vectors (lists) and matrices, and how to use matlab as an elementary vector and matrix calculator, including solving linear systems of equations.
