Learning Outcomes *3 On successful completion of the course a student will


be able to do the following:
 Will get introduced to matrices as a means of
representing linear maps like geometrical
transformations and coordinate changes and how
does evaluating determinant associated with a square
matrix helps in establishing important properties like
invertibility of the matrix thereby providing an useful
tool in physical sciences.
 Get acquainted with concept of linearity and use of
linearity to generate whole of a system from its part.
 Learn the methods of checking whether a given
system of hyperplanes have a common point and, in
case it has, to find the common points.
 Getting familiarized with the process of writing a
system of linear equations in terms of matrices.
 Learn eigenvector corresponding to a transformation
matrix as the direction in which it is stretched by the
transformation matrix.
 Getting familiarized with the definition of length of a
vector and studies its properties.
