Document Summary

Matrices: must know how to add/subtract, multiply matrices. How to find the determinant and eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and corresponding spaces. Find the value of a so that the system has no solution: For 2x2: det a c b d ad bc. Very important: a matrix a is invertible if and only if det(a) is nonzero. Example: find the area of a parallelogram whose sides are determined by vectors (2,6) and (1,8). Example: find the volume of a parallelepiped whose sides are determined by vectors (1,1,2), (0, 1,1) and (0, -1, 2). Must know how to find the matrix representation of a linear transformation: Must know facts about similar matrices read the notes posted on space. Must know dimensions of column space, row space, null space. Read the notes and see the examples there. Must know the equivalent statements for a matrix a to be invertible. Finding the inverse with gaussian elimination or using cofactors.
