Public Fall 2026 A-section outline checked 25 October 2026. A/B share this independent foundations route; another section or winter offering may differ. No equivalence or complete weekly coverage is asserted.
Across this collection: 156 distinct original families and 468 parameter instances. Courses share topic banks; translations and shared mappings are not extra questions.
Supported learning objectives
Linear systems
Solve small two-variable systems, count a free variable and identify a singular parameter.
Matrix calculations
Compute selected sum/product entries, 2×2 determinants and an inverse entry.
Euclidean vectors
Calculate dot products, lengths, distances and a projection coefficient in two or three dimensions.
Small eigenvalue calculations
Find selected 2×2 eigenvalues, an eigenvector coordinate and a power trace from a supplied diagonalization.
What is not covered
Small real systems, matrix entries/determinants, Euclidean vector calculations and selected 2×2 eigenvalue examples only. No abstract vector-space proofs, complete basis/rank theory, general diagonalization, complex arithmetic, cross products or full line/plane geometry. Markov chains and the course’s proof/definition expectations are not covered.
An original worked example
Solve x+y=5 and x-y=-1. Enter x only.
Worked solution
Answer: 2
- 2x=4.
- Thus x=2 and y=3; both original equations hold.
