Overview
Matrix analysis and applied linear algebra are integral tools across various mathematical disciplines and represent significant fields of research. This course covers both classical and contemporary matrix analysis results that are essential and beneficial for numerous areas. Prior knowledge equivalent to a one-semester elementary linear algebra course and understanding of basic calculus is assumed.
Advanced matrix knowledge, beyond what is typically included in elementary linear algebra courses, is critical in nearly every mathematical science field. This includes linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, multivariate probability and statistics, and optimization. Matrix analysis is extensively applied in engineering disciplines such as systems and control, signal and image processing, communications, data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Moreover, matrix theory is vital in theoretical and practical economics, as well as in operations research.
Matrix analysis may be viewed as those topics within linear algebra that have emerged from mathematical analysis requirements, including multivariable calculus, complex variables, differential equations, harmonic analysis, optimization, and approximation theory. Another perspective is that matrix analysis is an approach to solving real and complex linear algebraic problems using analysis concepts like limits, continuity, convergence, divergence, norms, and power series, when they offer a more effective or natural solution than a purely algebraic method.
