Math 1410 is an introductory course in linear algebra. Much of the course is computational (solving systems of equations, working with matrices, etc.) but there is some theoretical content as well. Compared to Math 1560 (Calculus I) there is less background knowledge required, but there is also a lot more terminology and notation to learn. The Academic Calendar imposes the following topics:

Linear systems. Vectors and matrices. Determinants. Orthogonality and applications. Vector geometry. Eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and applications. Complex numbers.
