Module code: G5134
Level 4
15 credits in autumn semester
Teaching method: Lecture, Workshop
Assessment modes: Unseen examination, Coursework

Systems of linear equations arise in many problems from simple combinations of prices to solving (partial) differential equations numerically.

 

 

We will learn how to solve these systems and introduce many important concepts such as vectors, matrices and complex numbers.

You will study mathematical connections between algebra and geometry. You will understand the structure of linear systems of equations and learn how to apply basic techniques, such as Gaussian elimination, to solve them.

Module learning outcomes

• Appreciate mathematical connections between algebra and geometry;
• Understand the structure of linear systems and apply basic techniques to solve them;
• Demonstrate working knowledge of vectors, matrices and complex numbers.
