Matrices, inverses, determinants. Vector spaces, subspaces, linear independence, basis, dimension, row and column spaces, rank, linear transformations, eigenvectors, eigenvalues, diagonalization. Inner products, inner product spaces, orthonormal sets, Gram-Schmidt process, Fourier series. Calculus of Several variables: Partial derivatives, limits and continuity, chain rule, directional derivatives, gradients, Lagrange multipliers. Double integrals, area of a surface, triple integrals. Vector calculus, line integrals, Green?s Theorem, surface integrals, Gauss?s divergence theorem, Stokes? Theorem. Through the sample questions/exercises provided in the course material, the students will have chances to pick up the fundamental principles for engineering science applications.
