                                 MATH 2322 Linear Algebra

Catalog description:
This is a three-hour course which includes vector spaces, linear transformations and matrices.

Context:
The prerequisite for this course consists of MATH 1304 with a C or better. This three credit hour
course is an important area of study for mathematics majors. The use of computers and
calculators facilitating the application of mathematics in traditionally non-technical areas make
the course desirable in other disciplines as well. This course may not be repeated for credit.

Description of the course:
A strong emphasis is made not only on the mathematical computations but also on the need to
understand and create mathematical proofs. Mastery of mathematical definitions, properties, and
procedures is essential. Activities outside of the classroom will focus on reading and problem
solving. Graphing calculators will be required and used to enhance student understanding.
Working within study groups is encouraged.

Outcomes of the course:
Upon completion of this course, the student    As measured by:
will be able to:
