This is an introductory course in linear algebra. The goal of this course is to teach you the mathematical fundamentals of linear algebra in a way that illustrates their relevance to computer science. A second goal is to prepare you for study of numerical methods for solving linear algebra problems. Such methods are the subject of CSCI 3656 Numerical Computation, for which a course in linear algebra is a prerequisite.
