This is a course on the algebra of matrices and vector spaces. It emphasizes a concrete approach to the material. Topics include solving systems of linear equations, vector algebra, matrix algebra, properties of invertible matrices, determinants, the vector space Rn and its subspaces, dimension, and linear transformations.
