On the Jordan form in a unitary space

A Note on the Jordan Canonical Form

A proof of the Jordan canonical form, suitable for a first course in linear algebra, is given. The proof includes the uniqueness of the number and sizes of the Jordan blocks. The value of the customary procedure for finding the block generators is also questioned. 2000 MSC: 15A21. The Jordan form of linear transformations is an exceeding useful result in all theoretical considerations regarding...

The Jordan Canonical Form

Let β1, . . . , βn be linearly independent vectors in a vector space. For all j with 0 ≤ j ≤ n and all vectors α1, . . . , αk, if β1, . . . , βn are in the span of β1, . . . , βj, α1, . . . , αk, then j + k ≥ n. The proof of the claim is by induction on k. For k = 0, the claim is obvious since β1, . . . , βn are linearly independent. Suppose the claim is true for k−1, and suppose that β1, . . ....

reflections on taught courses of the iranian ma program in english translation: a mixed-methods study

the issue of curriculum and syllabus evaluation and revision has been in center of attention right from when curriculum came into attention of educational institutions. thus everywhere in the world in educational institutions curricula and syllabi are evaluated and revised based on the goals, the needs, existing content, etc.. in iran any curriculum is designed in a committee of specialists and...
