Course Schedule and Catalog

Long Title: HONORS LINEAR ALGEBRA

Department: Mathematics

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Distribution Group: Distribution Group III

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Vector spaces, linear transformations and matrices, theory of systems of linear equations, determinants, eigenvalues and diagonalizability, inner product spaces; and optional material chosen from: dual vector spaces, spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators, Jordan canonical form. Content is similar to that of MATH 355, but with more emphasis on theory. The course will include instruction on how to construct mathematical proofs. This course is appropriate for potential Mathematics majors and others interested in learning how to construct rigorous mathematical arguments. Credit may not be received for both MATH 354 and MATH 355. Equivalency: MATH 355. Recommended Prerequisite(s): A 200-level math class. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for MATH 354 if student has credit for MATH 355.
