Course Objectives (CoB):
[1] to give a presentation of basic concepts of linear algebra to illustrate its power and utility
through applications to computer science and Engineering.
[2] to give a presentation of concepts of vector space, linear transformations, matrices and
inner product space.
[3] to solve problems in cryptography, computer graphics and Transform like wavelets
Course Outcome (CO):
At the end of this course the students are expected to learn
[1] the abstract concepts (theory) of matrices which are the backbones of modern
engineering.
[2] how to solve the system of linear equations using decomposition methods, the basic
notion of Vector spaces
[3] how to transform the vectors using linear transform which is the basic idea required in
computer graphics and inner product spaces
[4] applications of inner product spaces, basic tools of cryptography
[5] Use of wavelet in image processing.
