This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Linear Algebra through two main chapters:
- Vector Spaces
- Linear Maps

Students will study vector spaces, subspaces, bases, dimension, and linear transformations, together with applications and exercises.

This course is designed to build a strong foundation in mathematics for science and engineering. We will cover three essential chapters this semester:

  • Chapter 1: Ordinary Differential Equations

    Learn how to solve foundational differential equations used to model real-world systems.

  • Chapter 2: Functions of Several Variables

    Extend your calculus skills from single-variable functions to functions with multiple variables (limits, derivatives, and optimization).

  • Chapter 3: Double and Triple Integrals

    Master advanced integration techniques to calculate areas and volumes in 2D and 3D spaces.
