Description: This thesis is designed to act as an instructor's supplement for refresher matrix algebra courses at the Naval      Postgraduate School (NPS). The need for a beginning matrix algebra supplement is driven by the unique      circumstances of most NPS students. Most military students attend XPS several years after receiving their      undergraduate degrees. This supplement, unlike most college textbooks, bridges the gap between the      student's educational lay-off and the rigors of mathematically oriented degrees such as applied math,      operations research and engineering. By reviewing the fundamental concepts of vectors and matrices, and      performing basic operations with them, the student quickly develops the background needed in NPS's      demanding curriculums. This supplement focuses on matrix and vector operations, linear transformations,      systems of linear equations, and computational techniques for solving systems of linear equations. The goal is      to enhance current matrix algebra textbooks and help the beginning student build a foundation for higher level      engineering and mathematics based courses.
