On successful completion of this module, the student is expected to be able to understand the definitions, theorems and examples covered in all of the topics listed above, and carry out associated computations. These include, but are not limited to, adding and multiplying matrices; finding determinants and inverses of 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 matrices; finding scalar products and angles between vectors; computing orthogonal projections; performing elementary row operations and solving systems of linear equations; determining the coordinates of vectors with respect to orthonormal bases; finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 matrices; diagonalising quadratic forms and evaluating matrix norms.
Students should also gain an appreciation for how such knowledge and techniques, when combined with creativity and critical thinking, can be used for complex problem solving in a numerate world.
