It covers all topics applicable to\nStatistics and Multivariable Calculus, but does not always give explicit\nproofs.&nbsp;</p>\n\n<p>We will\nintroduce the notions of linearity, vector space, finite-dimensional space,\nlinear functional, linear operator. During the course we will learn how to\noperate with matrices, how to find&nbsp;matrix diagonalization, if possible,\nand Jordan basis for spaces of small dimension.&nbsp;We will mention\nPerron\u2013Frobenius theorem and its applications to Web indexing. Also, we will\nstudy quadratic forms and its reduction to canonical form.</p>",
