This course aims to provide undergraduate students with a thorough ground in the theory linear algebra that is essential for further study of linear regression and time series, two major advanced statistics topics in Statistics for Risk Modeling (SRM) Exam o?ered by the Society of Actuaries. The course is a proof-based rigorous mathematics course. Topics include but not limited to systems of linear equations, determinants, matrix algebra, generalized inverses, vector spaces, linear transformations, orthogonal complements, eigenvalues of matrices, quadratic forms.
