To give the student knowledge and skills in those aspects of linear algebra that have widespread application throughout the sciences, and understanding of linear relationships and linear models.

Expected learning outcome
By the end of the course the students are expected to be able to:

• apply techniques and results from linear algebra to solve computational problems concerning systems of linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, orthogonality, and eigenvalue problems.
• apply linear algebraic theory to analyze simple theoretical problems within the above mentioned subjects.
• argue for the individual steps in the solutions.
• formulate correct arguments.
• use mathematical terminology.
