Course Outcomes
CO1: Students will learn to solve systems of linear equations and find the inverse of a matrix using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. Additionally, they will determine bases of finite-dimensional vector spaces and understand the significance of the Rank-Nullity Theorem.
CO2: Students will be able to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix and understand matrix diagonalization. They will also learn about inner products and how to transform a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthonormal set.
CO3: Students will become proficient in solving first-order ordinary differential equations and determining orthogonal trajectories for a given one-parameter family of curves. They will also study the fundamental system and general solutions of higher-order homogeneous equations, the Wronskian, and the Euler-Cauchy equation.
CO4: Students will learn to solve nonhomogeneous linear differential equations using the method of undetermined coefficients and the variation of parameters. Additionally, they will be introduced to the power series method.
CO5: Students will explore various techniques for determining the Laplace transform of functions and learn how to solve differential equations using the Laplace transform.
