Course Objectives Linear algebra and matrix theory have been fundamental tools in mathematical disciplines. Having the basic knowlegde and properties of linear transformations, vector spaces, vectors and matrices the aim is to present classical and recent results of matrix analysis that have proved to be important to applied mathematics.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • understand Gersgorin’s Circle Theorem and related theorems, and use them,
  • determine whether a given family is simultaneously diagonalizable or not,
  • understand Schur’s Theorem and use it for the triangularization of a matrix,
  • understand Normal matrices, Hermitian matrices and their properties, and perform the QR factorization, triangular factorizations, LU decompositions,
  • determine the minimal polynomials and possible canonical forms of matrices,
  • understand vector and matrix norms, and their properties and using matrix norms determine bounds for the spectral radiuses of matrices,
  • understand the effect of perturbations in the solution of systems of linear equations,
  • understand the Singular Value Decomposition and its properties and use it,
  • understand Positive-Negative Definite matrices, nonnegative matrices and their properties, and conditions for the irreducibility of nonnegative matrices.
Course Content Preliminaries, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and similarity, unitary equivalence and normal matrices, Canonical forms, Hermitian and symmetric matrices, norms for vectors and matrices, location and perturbation of eigenvalues, positive definite matrices, nonnegative matrices.
