course is to provide fundamental mathematical foundation for dealing with finite dimentional linear spaces. By the end of this course students are expected to

1. interpret the eigenstructure of a linear operator.
2. to understand the structure of an inner product space.
3. achieve matrix representation for nondigonalizable linear operators

This course is first offered in the academic year Fall 2004. One may access the quizzes and their answres (you should have acrobat reader For aims & scopes, text book and detailed schedule please read the syllabus
