DSC 03: Mathematics for computing

Course Objective

This course introduces the students to the fundamental concepts and topics of linear
algebra and vector calculus, whose knowledge is important in other computer science
courses. The course aims to build the foundation for some of the core courses in later
semesters.

Course Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Perform operations on matrices and sparse matrices


2. Compute the determinant, rank and eigenvalues of a matrix
3. Perform diagonalization
4. Perform operations on vectors, the dot product and cross product
5. Represent vectors geometrically and calculate the gradient, divergence, curl
6. Apply linear algebra and vector calculus to solve problems in sub-disciplines of
computerscience.
