Students are introduced to combinatorial (graph) aspects of matrix theory which contributes to better understanding of the theory and enables the students to learn about different graph theory and matrix theory which have interesting applications.

General mathematical subjects from the first two years of study.

Review of some elementary concepts in linear algebra with combinatorial approach. Matrix operations. Powers of matices. Determiners. Cofactors and invertible matrix. Solving a system of linear algebra equations using graphs. Matrix eigenvalue. Combinatorial proof of Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Finding the Jordan canonical form of a matrix. Nonnegative matices. Reducible and irreducible matrices. Signal flow graph techniques. Mathematical fundamentals and application in system theory and electric circuit theory. Applications in physics and chemistry. Membrane movement. Huckel theory of unsaturated carbohydrogen.
