Description

This course builds on the basic concepts of linear algebra introduced in Mathematics 1A and looks at a variety of applications - from fitting curves to data, to modelling systems of differential equations with applications to the evolution of population growth, problems in mechanics, chemical reactions and other areas of science. Key topics include the central concepts of linearity and linear superposition, generalisation of the dot product to an inner product, general vector spaces, and approximation of functions by orthogonal sets such as Fourier Series.
