Goals This course is designed to enrich the knowledge of engineering students in linear algebra, and to teach them the basics and application of the methods for the solution of linear systems occurring in engineering problems.
Course Content Linear Algebra, Matrix theory, Vectors
Learning Outcomes - Solves the n dimensional linear systems by determinant(Cramer) method.
- Calculates the values of n dimensional determinats by reducing to triangle matrix, and by reducing the dimension by Laplace method. Calculates the value of the special determinants which are the types of Wandermonde and three diagonal by using formulas
- Finds the solution by using the inverse matrix method in the state of definite linear system.
- Examines the general system by using rank method, when the condition is compatible the finds its solution.
- Finds the eigenvalues and eigenvector of square matrix.
