Course overview

This is a short term course, it is required that students are familiar with basic linear algebra. Selected topics are covered with one aim that a student after going through this course should find comfortable in dealing with various applications of linear algebra. This course is mostly on finite dimensional real vector spaces. Rather than emphasis on theorem  and proofs the course will contain many examples and exercises. Contents are broadly listed below.
