    Agenda for today’s class (80 minutes)

    1. (20 minutes) Pre-class Review
    2. (20 minutes) Solve Linear Systems
    3. (30 minutes) Overdetermined Systems
    4. (30 minutes) Underdetermined Systems

    In this assignment, we try to solve the linear systems \(Ax=b\) in three different categories.

    • \(A\) is a square matrix. Unique solution when \(A\) is invertible
    • overdetermined (more equations than unknowns): If \(A\) has full column rank, the system has an unique solution when \(b\) is in the column space of \(A\), otherwise no solution.
    • underdetermined (more unknowns than equations): If \(A\) has full row rank, there are infinite many solutions.
