Linear Algebra: Elementary Matrices

This lecture covers the concept of elementary matrices in linear algebra, focusing on their properties and applications. The instructor explains how elementary matrices are used to perform elementary row operations and their role in matrix transformations. The lecture also delves into the factorization of matrices and the conditions for a matrix to be invertible. Additionally, the lecture introduces the concept of vector spaces and defines the properties that characterize a vector space. The instructor illustrates these concepts with examples and provides exercises for further practice.
