The goal of M340L is to present the many uses of matrices and the many techniques and
concepts needed in such uses. The emphasis is on understanding and using techniques
and concrete concepts rather than on learning proofs and abstractions. The course is
designed for applications-oriented students such as those in the natural and so cial
sciences? engineering, and business. Topics might include matrix operations, systems of
linear equations, introductory vector-space concepts (e.g., linear dependence and
independence, basis, dimension), determinants, introduct ory concepts of eigensystems,
introductory linear programming, and least square problems.
