Abstract:

 

The aim of this paper is to analyze some topics about linear algebra course, along with researches and opinions which are original and useful. The considered topics are the content, textbooks, students’ learning profiles, teaching methods, using computer programs, and connections with other mathematics courses .According to the main results of the analyses, it is an oversimplification to think that there is a unique right way to teach this course. Although many mathematicians could expect that the first linear algebra as if were the same everywhere, the reality is different from this idea. The recent editions of linear algebra textbooks are usually good materials for what is being taught at the introductory level. It seems that only expressing and showing of teacher may not significantly improve students’ learning of an abstract course. In recent years, linear algebra researchers have formulated some efficient teaching methods in order to facilitate meaningful learning. Software provides helpful visualization in two or three dimensional vector spaces. By the creating interactive environment of the computer programs, students can explore with matrices, linear transformations and numerical representations. And finally, there is an obvious connection between linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, and statistics.
