Course Information
The eigenvalue problem for linear operators is of fundamental importance for the application of linear algebra in science. This course provides a basic understanding of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Both the mathematical background and (some of) the multifarious applications, e.g. recursive sequences, differential equations, stability and resonances, are discussed at length. Also, computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors is a central topic in numerical linear algebra. Accordingly, state-of-the-art algorithms for this purpose are presented. The computer package MATLAB may be used at times.
This course gives a sound and hands-on introduction to an all-important topic in applied linear algebra. It is the ideal continuation of MATH251.
