MATH 415
Advanced Matrix Analysis Fall 2023
Division III Quantative/Formal Reasoning

Class Details

This course will start with a review of various attributes of matrices (determinants, rank, etc), as well as eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and their properties. Then we will move on to study special matrices and their decompositions, along with similarities, and Jordan canonical forms. In the third segment, we will define norms on vectors and matrices and study their analytic properties. Finally, we will discuss another important class of matrices – positive definite and semidefinite matrices. If time permits, we will also cover positive and negative matrices and their properties.
