MAT 360 Linear Algebra II

Fall Semester, even-numbered years

This course covers linear algebra at an advanced level with a theoretical approach. It aims to provide students with the concepts and theorems of linear algebra needed to pursue more advanced math courses, such as analysis, abstract algebra, and geometry. Topics covered include basis and dimension, quotients, linear maps and matrices, determinants, dual spaces and maps, invariant subspaces, canonical forms, diagonalization and Jordan forms, metric vector spaces and bilinear forms, Euclidean, unitary and symplectic spaces, Orthogonal and unitary operators. Prerequisite: MAT 260 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
