Course Objectives Being a continuation of Math 231, the aim is to introduce the students to the very heart of the subject including topics such as inner product spaces and linear mappings on them, canonical (diagonal, triangular, Jordan, and rational) matrix forms of linear mappings, bilinear and quadratic forms.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • understand the basics of inner product spaces,
  • decompose a vector space as a direct sum of its subspaces,
  • obtain special types of matrices representing a given linear map,
  • understand and find eigenvalues and eigenvectors, determine if a matrix is diagonalizable, and if it is, diagonalize it, find bases for eigenspaces,
  • find bases for dual space of a vector space,
  • understand fundamentals of bilinear and quadratic forms.
Course Content Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, elementary canonical forms, the rational and Jordan forms, inner product spaces, operators on Inner product spaces, bilinear forms.
