Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module, the student is expected to:- demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical aspects covered in this module;- be able to carry out any computations involving the objects described in this module.
Curricular information is subject to change.
In this module we introduce and develop some of the more advanced ideas in Linear Algebra. A sample of topics covered are:
Inner product spaces, bilinear forms, dual spaces, transpose and adjoint, Gram-Schmidt process. Quotient spaces. Multilinear algebra, tensor products of vector spaces, symmetric and alternating group, determinants. Endomorphisms, minimal polynomials, Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Invariant subspaces. Companion matrices, Vandermonde matrices, circulant matrices.
