MTH433 Differential Equations
Lead Faculty: Dr. Igor Ya Subbotin
Course Description
Examines systems of linear equations and matrices, elementary vector-space concepts, and geometric interpretations. Discusses finite dimensional vector
spaces, linear functions and their matrix representations, determinants, similarity of matrices, inner product, rank, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, canonical form, and Gram-Schmidt process.
