In a first course on linear algebra we generally try to answer the following questions regarding linear systems:

  • Are there any solutions?
  • Does the system have no, unique or an infinite number of solutions?
  • How can we find all the solutions if they exist?
  • Is there some sort of structure to the solutions?

Are there any questions we tend to answer on a linear algebra course?

...and the question is? The last sentence in your post? I mean, you began by listing several things that are done on l.a., and then you ask what is done in l.a.? Be clear, please. – DonAntonio May 20 '12 at 13:08
Sorry but the last question should say are there ANY other questions on Linear Algebra that we should address on a first course. Really want to highlight the main points of LA. – matqkks May 25 '12 at 9:19

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Here are all the Linear Algebra exams at my university for the last ten years. That should give you some idea of the questions we tend to ask in a linear algebra course.

Thanks. I am trying to write a syllabus for a Linear Algebra course and wanted to start by looking at main questions that a student should be able to tackle by the end of the course. – matqkks May 20 '12 at 16:27
