Prof.R.Sethuraman,The Dean, Head of the department ,my colleaugues, friends and my students who have encouraged me to this lecture notes .
I personally thank my Head, Dr. D. Narasimhan, Department of
Mathematics who provide me an Oppurtunity to handle this paper for Final year B.Sc., students. I specially thank my students Dhurga, Subha Lakshmi for making my class notes to make it as a complete guide. I extend my thanks to First year commerce student Aadithya for helping me to the creative cover page. This lecture note seems to be a supporting guide for the book entitled Linear Algebra by Vivek Sahai and Vikas Bist, Narosa Publishing House, New Delhi 2003, since all the notations and ideas are taken from this book. I also thank this author &Publications. Above all I would like to thank the Almighty for having blessed me the successful completion of this project. CONTENTS
