MAS 3105 LINEAR ALGEBRA WITH APPLICATIONS 4 credits

Prerequisite: MAC 2312. This course is designed for students who are majoring in secondary mathematics education, mathematics, science or engineering. This course provides a thorough treatment of linear algebra using a matrix-oriented approach. Major topics include: matrices, systems of linear equations, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, vector spaces, subspaces, inner product spaces, and orthogonality. Emphasis is on gaining a deep understanding of the subject matter through the use of interactive computer algebra systems and application projects; emphasis is also given to development of algebraic reasoning abilities in analyzing conceptual relationships. Each student will develop an electronic portfolio of course projects and accomplishments, which incorporate the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices. This course addresses specific Sunshine State Standards, subject matter competencies, and pedagogy pertinent to the discipline and required for certification. 62 contact hours.
