Linear Algebra Linear: What is Linear ? Have to do with line/plane/etc Advantage: Simple Efficient algorithms Disadvantage: Too simple, (sometimes) not realistic. Near linear if we zoom in Transistor: a non-linear device Apply bias to operate in the linear region :
Algebra (Wikipedia) Algebra is the study of variables and the rules for manipulating these variables in formulas; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. Boolean Algebra Abstract Algebra Linear Algebra Algebraic Boolean Number Theory Boolean Process Algebra Boolean Tensor Algebra
Why Study Algebra? Algebra provides a unified way of studying many problems in math., science, and engineering. E.g. Linear Algebra ( ): Machine learning, Quantum computing, Coding theory, Circuit theory, Optimization, Control theory, Boolean algebra ( ): Computer circuits, Computer programming, Formal verification, Abstract algebra ( ): Cryptography, Coding theory, Communication, Symmetry,
In this Course, Linear Algebra is about Solve the matrix equation Many practical problems can be captured by the above matrix equation. Solve system of linear equations using matrices, row reduction, inverses, etc. Solve the matrix equation ?? = ?? Solve eigenvalue problem using characteristic polynomial. Understand dynamic of linear transformations via eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalization. In fact, large classes of engineering problems, no matter how huge, can be reduced to linear algebra.

Why Taking One Semester? Most of you know how to solve systems of linear equations in high school ( ) Why bother spending a whole semester learning Linear Algebra? Reason: Often engineers need to solve lots of equations with lots of variables Can we gain useful information about the set of solutions without having to solve the equations? It is also challenging to recognize problems in real-world that can be formulated using linear algebra.
