'Matrix Algebra' is a course offered in the first semester of B. Tech. programs at the School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Understand the notion of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, analyze the possibility of diagonalization and hence compute a diagonal matrix, if possible.
CO2: Apply the knowledge of diagonalization to transform the given quadratic form into the principal axes form and analyze the given conic section.
CO3: Understand the advantages of the iterative techniques and apply it to solve the system of equations and finding eigenvectors.
