Advanced Linear Algebra
Instructor, Washington State University, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, 2025
Advanced linear algebra with an emphasis on practical matrix factorizations and special types of matrix classes. This class will cover the following topics:
- Theory and applications of vector spaces
- Eigenvalues, eigenspaces, similarity transformations of matrices, and diagonalization of matrices.
- Inner product spaces, orthogonality, and orthogonal projections
- Common decompositions including Singular value decomposition, LU decomposition, and Jordan canonical form.
- Special matrix types including normal matrices, symmetric matrices, and nonnegative matrices.
