Detailed and easy-to-follow notes from Semester 1 of Linear Algebra, taken during my second year at Newcastle University. These notes are based on lectures, tutorials, and recommended material, making them a great resource for both revision and day-to-day studying. Clear explanations, step-by-step examples, and all key concepts included. Topics covered: • Vector spaces and subspaces • Linear independence and spanning sets • Basis, dimension, and coordinates • Linear maps and isomorphisms • Matrix representations and change of basis • Eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and diagonalisation • Inner product spaces
