Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

The algebra course for MATH1251 is based on chapters 6 to 9 of the MATH1251

Algebra Notes, which are essential reading and must be brought to all algebra
tutorials. The lecturer will not cover all the material in these notes in their
lectures as some sections of the notes are intended for reference and for
background reading.
Chapter 9. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Lectures 1924 The aims of this section
are to introduce the ideas of eigenvalue and eigenvector and to show some
applications of these ideas to diagonalization of matrices, evaluation of powers of
matrices and solution of simple systems of linear differential equations. Value
different types of securities (bonds, equities, and preference shares); Analyse
capital budgeting projects and use the net present value decision rule to decide
if a firm should pursue a project; Understand the relation between risk and
return, and be able to estimate the cost of capital; Understand the relevant
theory underlying a firms choice of capital structure and its dividend policy.
If you enrol in a unit and your tuition fees exceed your FEE-HELP balance, you

provider may choose to cancel your enrolment if you have tuition fees that are
