File Lecture notes

These are the typeset lecture notes for the whole module and are essentially our textbook. I may modify them slightly as we go along, in order to correct typos or improve the exposition of the material.

Material covered each week will be indicated in weekly tabs below, where you will also find handwritten weekly lecture notes.

Although the lecture notes will define the module's assessable content, there are many, many books and online resources on linear algebra available. Two recommended books (of which there are numerous versions) are:

  • S. J. Leon, Linear Algebra with Applications.

  • H. Anton and C. Rorres, Elementary Linear Algebra: Applications Version.

You do not need to buy any books. There are more than enough resources in the library and/or online.

General course materials File Lecture notes

Material covered each week will be indicated in weekly tabs below, where you will also find handwritten weekly lecture notes, pre-recorded lectures and synchronous lectures and their recording.

Although the lecture notes will define the module's assessable content, there are many, many books and online resources on linear algebra available. Two recommended books (of which there are numerous versions) are:

  • S. J. Leon, Linear Algebra with Applications.
