The course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the highly beneficial subject of linear algebra. The initial stage involves a detailed exploration of linear algebra in the Euclidean plane. Upon completion of the course, you will have the capability to execute the subsequent mathematical operations.

  • Solve systems of two linear equations with two variables.
  • Utilise, graph, and manipulate vectors in the plane.
  • Compute and apply dot products and norms of vectors in the Euclidean plane.
  • Define and manipulate angles, along with their trigonometric functions.
  • Determine and utilize polar coordinates of a nonzero vector.
  • Work with and manipulate complex numbers, visualizing their vector representations.
  • Perform calculations involving matrices of linear transformations.
  • Identify bases in the plane and compute transition matrices for changing bases.
  • Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, utilising them for matrix diagonalisation.
  • Lastly, diagonalise matrices in ℂ that have no real eigenvalues.

All of these concepts will be taught from a practical perspective, incorporating graphics and Python sessions and scripts.
