Course Syllabus for Linear Algebra with Applications

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students who are majoring in secondary mathematics education, mathematics,
science or engineering. This course provides a thorough treatment of linear algebra using a matrix-oriented
approach. Major topics include: matrices, systems of linear equations, linear transformations, determinants,
eigenvectors and eigenvalues, vector spaces, subspaces, inner product spaces, and orthogonality. Emphasis is
on gaining a deep understanding of the subject matter through the use of technology and application projects;
emphasis is also given to development of algebraic reasoning abilities in analyzing conceptual relationships.
This course addresses specific Sunshine State Standards, subject matter competencies and pedagogy
pertinent to the discipline and required for certification.

II. MAJOR LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. The student will demonstrate an understanding of matrices and their properties and operations.

2. The student will demonstrate an understanding of systems of linear equations.

3. The student will demonstrate an understanding of linear transformations.

4. The student will demonstrate an understanding of determinants and their properties.

5. The student will demonstrate an understanding of eigenvectors and eigenvalues.

6. The student will demonstrate an understanding of vector spaces, subspaces and inner product
spaces.

7. The student will demonstrate an understanding of vector orthogonality and its applications.

III. REQUIRED TEXTBOOK(S), RESOURCES AND MATERIALS

A. Required Textbooks

IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS & EXPECTATIONS
A. School Based Hours Course Requirements
There are no school-based hours for this course

B. Required Assessments

• Tests**
• Final Exam** (Additional Element: 10)

**These assignments must be mastered in order to pass the class. If an assignment does not receive a
grade of C or above, the instructor will work with the student to improve the understanding of the
concept and performance of the assignment. The assignment must be corrected and resubmitted and
cannot receive a grade higher than a C. In the event of proven cheating or plagiarizing on any FEAPs
assignment, the student will, at minimum, receive a non-passing grade, not a withdrawal, for the course.
