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

Topic List

  • 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

Almost no prerequisite knowledge is required, apart from algebra and trigonometry.

Equivalent Courses

  • 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

MATH 1553 is a linked course with a studio and shared test period.
