Brief Description of the unit
This course unit provides a systematic study to the area of mathematics based on the study of simultaneous linear equations. Simultaneous linear equations are first met in pre-university mathematics usually in the form of two linear equations in two unknowns and possibly three equations in three unknowns which are usually solved by fairly ad hoc methods
