Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course the student is able to: 1. determine vector properties (linear independence, basis,dimension) 2. analyse and solve systems of linear equations 3. set-up and analyse systems of linear transformations 4. perform matrix operations (multiplication, inverse) 5. compute determinants 6. compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors and employ these in practical applications 7. solve systems of first-order linear differential equations 8. compute and analyse basic geometry (lines, planes and intersections) 9. perform partial differentiation, compute extremes, gradient, tangent planes, and linear approximations 10. compute integrals in 2 and 3 dimensions
Omschrijving	In this course, first basic concepts and skills in the area of linear algebra are discussed. Subsequently, functions of one variable are extended to multi-variable functions, with topics such as: partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, extremes of a multi-variable function and multi-dimensional integration. The material is illustrated through examples that focus on the applications of mathematical techniques.

Toetsvorm	Opdracht (AST), Schriftelijk tentamen (WE), Tussentoets (IT) (The final grade is computed from a formula that combines some of the following: bonus for attendance to tutorials, average grade of 3 out of the 4 HW assignments and the grades of the midterm and final exams. (The exact formula will be communicated at the start of the course.) Attendance to tutorials, HW assignments or midterm are not obligatory. If none of those apply, the grade will be that of the final exam.)

Opmerkingen	Artificial Intelligence (BSc) is a Fixed Quota (Numerus Fixus) programme. As a consequence, their courses (course code WBAI) are closed for students that are not registered under the AI BSc programme, unless the course is part of the mandatory curriculum of their programme. If you wish to take this course in your minor – or as part of a so-called ‘unofficial’ pre-master’s – please use the official procedure through the Board of Examiners form.
