Course Information

Description: Equilibria and the solution of linear systems and linear least squares problems. Dynamical systems and the eigenvalue problem with the Jordan form and Laplace transform via complex integration. Optional 1-credit laboratory motivates concepts from the course via physical experiments with vibrating beaded strings
Prerequisites: MATH 212 and CAAM 210. Less formally: you should be familiar with multivariable calculus and elementary matrix manipulations (matrix addition and multiplication, Gaussian elimination), and be able to write MATLAB programs.
Course Notes: Matrix Analysis by Steve Cox, available in PDF format. Other material will be used as well.
