NUMBER SYSTEMS AND LINEAR ALGEBRA
MAT1NLA
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students learn and apply mathematical concepts and develop skills that provide a foundation for all studies in mathematical sciences. Students review and extend their knowledge of algebra, functions, sets and number systems with significant coverage of complex numbers adding to their repertoire. After consideration of sequences and series, students proceed to a module on either Probability (Engineering students) or Logic and Proof. Students also explore a coherent treatment of vectors and vector geometry that includes matrices and solutions of systems of linear equations via the Gauss-Jordan algorithm, and brief treatment of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. An emphasis is placed on students improving their understanding of mathematical concepts and results so they can be appropriately applied, and development of their reasoning skills and ability to clearly present written arguments, essential in both study and employment.
