Systems of Equations and Matrices
Systems of Equations In this section we’ll introduce most of the basic topics that we’ll need in order to solve systems of equations including augmented matrices and row operations.
Solving Systems of Equations Here we will look at the Gaussian Elimination and Gauss-Jordan Method of solving systems of equations.
Matrices We will introduce many of the basic ideas and properties involved in the study of matrices.
Matrix Arithmetic & Operations In this section we’ll take a look at matrix addition, subtraction and multiplication. We’ll also take a quick look at the transpose and trace of a matrix.
Properties of Matrix Arithmetic We will take a more in depth look at many of the properties of matrix arithmetic and the transpose.
Inverse Matrices and Elementary Matrices Here we’ll define the inverse and take a look at some of its properties. We’ll also introduce the idea of Elementary Matrices.
Finding Inverse Matrices In this section we’ll develop a method for finding inverse matrices.
Special Matrices We will introduce Diagonal, Triangular and Symmetric matrices in this section.
LU-Decompositions In this section we’ll introduce the LU-Decomposition a way of “factoring” certain kinds of matrices.
Systems Revisited Here we will revisit solving systems of equations. We will take a look at how inverse matrices and LU-Decompositions can help with the solution process. We’ll also take a look at a couple of other ideas in the solution of systems of equations.
