The Linear Algebra course (XM511), provided by Stanford University's Pre-Collegiate University-Level Online Math & Physics program, is an introductory course in the field of Linear Algebra. The main objective of the course is to familiarize students with core concepts of Linear Algebra, setting a foundation for more advanced study. The course covers key topics such as matrices, linear equations, vector spaces, bases, coordinates, linear transformations, eigenvectors, eigenvalues, and diagonalization. The course is taught online, providing flexibility for students from different locations and schedules. The course requires the students to have a prerequisite knowledge of Calculus AB, BC or an equivalent course. The course is taught by Dr. Margarita Kanarsky, a seasoned instructor who also teaches at the Online High School and is responsible for the majority of the instruction in the University-Level Online program's mathematics courses. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts of Linear Algebra. They will acquire the skills to apply these concepts to solve problems and will be well-prepared for more advanced courses or applications that require a solid foundation in Linear Algebra. The required text for the course is Bronson's "Linear Algebra," which will serve as a valuable reference guide for students throughout their learning journey. The course does not grant specific certifications but equips students with knowledge and skills applicable in various mathematical, scientific, and engineering fields.
