Liberal Arts Education
As pre-specialized education, which is organically linked to specialized education, Foundation Courses are aimed at providing students with the basic knowledge necessary to understand specialized studies in their chosen areas, and thereby providing them w 
Expected OutcomeTo understand, acquire, and be able to explain the logical structure and system of the basic disciplines in accordance with each subject and the knowledge and skills necessary for further academic development. 
Class Objectives
/Class Outline
In this course of Linear Algebra, we study the geometry of "Linear" objects like lines and planes, the algebra of "Linear" functions, namely degree 1 polynomial, and the "Linear" Formalism, which means that maps preserves additions and scalar multiplications.  The goal is to understand the basic algorithms like Gauss Eliminations and Determinants, with theoretical and geometric understanding.
