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.
