Linear Algebra and Geometry begins with the straightforward ideas of real and complex numbers and their algebraic properties. Further, it introduces vectors and matrices, and develops the abstract notion of vector spaces as well as studies basic geometric objects in vector space, such as lines, hyperplanes, some standard curves and surfaces. This is one of the basic structures of pure mathematics; yet the methods of the course are also fundamental for applied mathematics and statistics.
