Synopsis:

Students will broaden their knowledge gained in the BIE-LA1 introductory course, where only vectors in the form of n-tuples of numbers were considered. Here we will introduce vector spaces in a general abstract form. The notions of a scalar product and a linear map will enable to demonstrate the profound link between linear algebra, geometry, and computer graphics. The other main topic will be numerical linear algebra, in particular problems with solving systems of linear equations on computers. The issues of numerical linear algebra will be demonstrated mainly on the matrix factorization problem. Selected applications of linear algebra in various fields will be presented.

Requirements:

We assume the students finished course BI-LA1.21.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Abstract vector spaces, infinite-dimensional vector spaces.
