There are two aspects of a linear algebra course:     <ul>     <li> algorithmic and computational;     <\/li><li> theory and proofs.     <\/li><\/ul>     BOTH aspects are covered in this course but with less emphasis on theory and     proofs. The more theoretical aspects of linear algebra are covered in     MAS 4105. We hope to cover most of Chapters 1, 2, 5 and 6; and some of 3, 7 of Lay.      Topics include     linear systems, matrices, determinants, vectors, vector spaces, linear     transformations, inner products, eigenvalues, and applications.      We will also learn     how to use MATLAB to do linear algebra computations.     <br>\u00a0 <\/li><li><strong>COURSE GOALS:<\/strong><br>     By the end of the semester, you should know:     <ol>     <li> how to communicate mathematical ideas effectively;     <\/li><li> the basic theory and applications of linear algebra;     <\/li><li> the algorithms of linear algebra;     <\/li><li> how to perform the basic computations of linear algebra;     <\/li><li> how to use Matlab.     <\/li><\/ol>     <br>\u00a0 <\/li><li><strong>GRADING:<\/strong><br>     Homework will be assigned and collected.
