Abstract

his course is a continuation of Algebra MT1 173 which is taught for the second-year students. It lasts for one (fall) semester. Upon completion of Further Linear Algebra students will have to take the University of London (UoL) exam at the end of the fourth semester of their studies at ICEF.
