| − | Unlike nearly all other linked courses, MATH 1553 denotes the section letter (eg. A) as "Studio" and the section letter-numbers (eg. A01) as "Lecture". This is likely an error, or maybe a special case resulting from the hybrid/remote class format in 2020. This causes a bug in [https://github.com/gt-scheduler/website/issues/42 gt-scheduler] where it doesn't do the lecture-studio matching correctly, so please double check your schedule to ensure that the Studio and Lecture sections have the same letter.

MATH 1553 is a 2 credit core math class in linear algebra.
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.
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.
