Linear Algebra II

Second part of two-semester course on Linear Algebra: Affine geometry is introduced as well as duality, multilinear maps, determinants, and eigenvalues. Via characteristic and minimal polynomials, we obtain the Jordan normal form. We study vector spaces with inner products, including orthogonality, adjoint maps, as well as Hermitian, unitary, and normal maps. Appendix includes an existence proof for algebraic closures.
