Review Exercise (Unit 1)
The review exercise will typically consist of a mix of problems covering all the topics from Unit 1

It may include exercises like:

  • Solving systems of linear equations using matrices and determinants
  • Performing various operations (addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, multiplication) on matrices
  • Finding the transpose and inverse of given matrices
  • Determining the type of a given matrix (symmetric, skew-symmetric, etc.)
  • Evaluating the determinants of 2×2 and 3×3 matrices
  • Proving properties of matrices and determinants
  • If you encounter any particular problems while solving exercises, feel free to ask for help, and I’ll be glad to assist you further.
