This is an essential introductory subject that offers the preliminary knowledge of mathematics for economics science students. The aim is to introduce and familiarize students with the basic aspects of linear algebra. On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

• Handle matrices (addition, multiplication, inversion, factorization).
• Solve linear systems, and linear systems of special forms (symmetric, positive definite, diagonal, banded)
• Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a given matrix
• Solve all the above problems using MATLAB.
