The course serves both as a<br>\ntransition for the mathematics major from a study of techniques into<br>\nmore conceptual mathematics, and as a coherent foundation in linear algebra for engineering and<br>\nscience majors. The student is expected to reason through and coherently write up proofs of<br>\ntheorems, as well as develop computational skills. However, computational skills are not<br>\nstressed as much as in MAS 3114, Computational Linear Algebra. MAS 4105 is designed to serve majors<br>\nin mathematics and those engineering and science students interested in the theoretical aspects of the subject.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Website: people.clas.ufl.edu\/bruceedwards\/mas410517\/<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Written Work and Participation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<dl>\n<dd>Exercises from the text will be assigned and discussed in class.
