teaching mathematics to non mathematics majors through applications

Application of Determinants, Area of a Triangle, Cramer's rule for the solution of a system of equations in 2 variables, Consistency of a system of linear equation. Application of Matrices, Homogeneous Equations (Constant = 0), Non Homogenous Equations (So..

Application of Determinants - Now we shall discuss the use of determinants in finding the area of a triangle and in the solution of simultaneous equation..

Consider the non-homogeneous equations a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 z = d 1 a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 z = d 2 a 3 x + b 3 y + c 3 z = d 3 This can be written as |A| may or may not be ze..

Conclusion - We have seen the application of matrices and determinants in solving system of linear equation with three unknown variables. Matrices and determinants are also widely used in solving large system of linear equation. Some of these methods are Gauss-elimination method, Gauss-Jo..

Conclusion - In this chapter, we have learnt the application of permutations and combinations, the fundamental counting principle and relation between n C r and n P r..

In this chapter, we have learnt the application of permutations and combinations, the fundamental counting principle and relation between n C r and n P r . ..

Introduction - A set of numbers arranged in a definite order according to some definite rule is called a sequence . Sequences have wide applications. For example, the amount of money in a fixed deposit in a bank, over a number of years increases in a sequenc..

The adjoint of a square matrix [aij] is defined as the transpose of the matrix [Aij] where Aij are the cofactors of the elements aij. Adjoint of A is denoted by adj A. Let A be a square matrix of order n. If there exists a matrix B of order n such that AB = BA = I, where I is the ident..

Elementary transformations are of the following three types: Interchange of any two rows (or columns) The multiplication of the elements of a row (or column) by a non-zero number. The addition to the elements of any row (or column) the corresponding elements of any other row (or ..
