This playlist contains my Lectures from Math 321 in the Spring 2017 Semester at Liberty University. This Semester I do not follow a particular text. Instead, we just use my notes (which are based on about 10 popular texts in linear algebra).
The level of this course is higher than some courses which do not have a proof course prerequisite. Unfortunately, many of the common texts are really written more as a cookbook of problem solving techniques. The flavor here is decidedly less applied. This is a math course and while we mention applications, the centerpiece is simply the theoretical structure of linear algebra. The theory here is both simple and general. For the student of math, linear algebra is a great place to hone proof writing skill. We wish this course to increase the skill of the student in formal argument and abstraction. Naturally, we also seek for students of this course to assimilate the central theorems and intuitions of linear algebra. Fortunately, the goal of learning linear algebra well fits naturally with the goal of embracing abstraction in mathematics. If you want an applied linear algebra course where the focus is not on proofs then you ought to take our Math 221 course if you are a student at Liberty. We will also cover applications, but, our emphasis is not on problem solving.
