Abstract
This course is a continuation of Algebra MT1 173 which is taught for the second-year students. It lasts for one (fall) semester.
Learning Objectives
- Enable students to acquire further skills in the techniques of linear algebra
- Enable students to acquire further skills in the techniques of linear algebra,
- The discipline is intended to: • Enable students to acquire further skills in the techniques of linear algebra, • Prepare students for further courses in mathematics and related subjects like econometrics and actuarial science. Upon completion of Further Linear Algebra students will have to take the University of London (UoL) exam at the end of the sixth semester of their studies at ICEF.
- Prepare students for further courses in mathematics and related subjects like econometrics and actuarial science
- Prepare students for further courses in mathematics and related subjects like econometrics and actuarial science.
