Important Questions — Introduction to Linear Algebra (Broad list — verify from college)
These are broad, researched important questions based on the UGCF syllabus Units. Exact paper questions may vary — verify from your college syllabus and previous year papers.
Unit 1
Define Vectors and explain its core concepts in Introduction to Linear Algebra with diagrams where needed.
Hint: Define in 2 lines + 1 example. Examiners check clear definition + scope, not long history.
Discuss the scope and importance of Vectors, matrices for students of Introduction to Linear Algebra from other disciplines.
Hint: Define in 2 lines + 1 example. Examiners check clear definition + scope, not long history.
Unit 2
Explain Vector spaces & subspaces in Introduction to Linear Algebra. Derive or illustrate with an example.
Note: This is a broad researched list to help you start. Verify from your college's official syllabus PDF.
Introduction to Linear Algebra is a 4-credit Generic Elective (GE-2(ii) or GE-3 depending on semester) offered by the Department of Mathematics under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as 3L+1T with eligibility Class XII pass with Mathematics (as per maths.du.ac.in GE Maths syllabus, GE Linear Algebra section, EC 08.12.2022). As per the official syllabus on maths.du.ac.in/NEP_Syllabi/GE_Math_UGCF2022_Sems(1-8)_Syllabus.pdf (live, GE Linear Algebra section) and the PYQ 'Introduction to Linear Algebra GE PYQ 2023 - Paper 1' (cdn, 90 marks), the course has Unit I vector spaces and subspaces, Unit II linear transformations and matrices, Unit III eigenvalues/eigenvectors and diagonalization, and Unit IV inner product spaces, with readings like Strang and Hoffman & Kunze. Examination is 90+30 as per University pattern. Students often lose marks by not showing matrix steps for eigenvalues or by skipping the proof of vector space properties, both repeated long answers (as of 12 Sept 2026).
