MAST10007 Linear Algebra.... Course structure :)

[W0rr13d 0n3]

Hi everyone,

I'm sitting for Linear Algebra the coming summer and would like a little guidance with the course structure (ie. what they're gonna teach, etc.)
I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment so I thought it'd be a good idea to go through my subjects for the coming year.

I've only got the prescribed text book right now (Elementary Linear Algebra Applications Version (H. Anton and C. Rorres), 10th edn, Wiley, 2010.)

So yeah, would be GREAT, if someone could point me in the right direction so as to where to start  Like what chapters i should be doing, focusing on, etc.
Similar to Calculus.. I'd expect that they wouldn't cover the ENTIRE book in the course.... Or actuallly even use the book for that matter...
I got the book for almost free, so am not too fussy about that 

Thanks a bunch!

I can't remember any particular order but some important things are:

- general matrices, determinants, REF, RREF etc
- linear transformations
- eigenvalues and eigenvectors
- vector spaces, subspaces, basis, span, orthonormal basis etc

uom uses the same book as monash for this unit, from memory read through the first 1-9 chapters, they contain the most meat and i suspect you guys will go through most of those chapters
