    Course Objectives The objectives of this course are to enable the students to review basic theoretical concepts of linear algebra, optimization, real analysis and functional analysis, to be exposed of operational research applications of these mathematical concepts. This course introduces the key role of mathematics in optimization and linear systems. It explains effective procedures for performing mathematical tasks that arise in many fields, including operations research, engineering, systems sciences, statistics, and economics.\nWe emphasize the basic concepts and methodologies, and include dozens of examples and applications.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • Be able to resolve linear independence and find null spaces and factors of matrices.
    • Be able to determine existence of restricted solutions to linear equations and inequalities.
    • Be able to resolve definiteness of Hermitian and real symmetric matrices by Gaussian pivoting.
    Course Description The course basically covers sets, functions, countability, compact sets, lim sup and lim inf, convergence in R, convergence in metric spaces, normed spaces, inner product spaces, convexity, and functions of several variables
