MATH 1553 is a 2 credit core math class in linear algebra. Its content is both computational and conceptual, but with little or no proofs.
Topic List[edit | edit source]
- Systems of Linear Equations
- Vectors in Rn
- Linear Independence and Transformations
- Matrix Algebra
- Subspaces in Rn
- Determinants
- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors (includes Complex Eigenvalues if time permits)
- Orthogonality
- Symmetric Matrices
Prerequisite Knowledge[edit | edit source]
Almost no prerequisite knowledge is required, apart from algebra and trigonometry.
As a formal prerequisite, the math department requires a high score in a previous math class, or on the SAT or ACT.
Equivalent Courses[edit | edit source]
- MATH 1554 is a much more in-depth course that covers additional topics such as singular value decomposition (SVD).
- MATH 1564 is the honors equivalent, which uses proofs and is more theoretical than MATH 1553.
MATH 1553 does not give credit for MATH 1554 or 1564.
Registration[edit | edit source]
MATH 1553 is a linked course with a studio and shared test period.
Resources[edit | edit source]
- The course page for MATH 1553 provides information about the course.
- https://gatech.instructure.com/courses/114544 provides a set of videos and old exams for MATH 1554. Since MATH 1554 covers all the topics in MATH 1553, this resource can easily be used for MATH 1553 as well.
- Interactive Linear Algebra is a free online, interactive textbook made by Georgia Tech professors for MATH 1553.
- 3blue1brown Essence of Linear Algebra Video Series provides a nice conceptual overview of linear algebra. The video series uses visuals and animations extensively.
- A common textbook for this course is Linear Algebra and Its Applications by Lay.
