7.B-01 Probability vectors

Probability vectors Build the probability-vector language needed for column-stochastic matrices and Markov models. Begin with normalization and nonnegativity, then interpret conditional transitions and probability mixtures. What you will practise Recognize valid probability columns Recover a missing probability Interpret destination and source indices Combine conditional probabilities Prerequisites and study approach This microlearning belongs to Module 7, Eigenvalues and Dynamical Systems, in the Complete Linear Algebra Course. Before starting, review fractions, decimals and basic vector notation. The questions move from recognition and short calculations to connected reasoning. Single-select questions require one answer; multiselect questions ask you to evaluate every statement independently. A final total-probability calculation connects the current state distribution to the next one. Work out your own result before checking the choices, then use the explanation to compare the reasoning and diagnose a mistaken assumption. This focused practice connects conceptual understanding with reliable problem solving and supports review before the next microlearning.

7.B-02 Recurrences and initial states

Recurrences and initial states Translate scalar recurrences into evolving states with clearly specified initial data. The exercises connect repeated updates, state-vector ordering and closed-form checks without assuming prior dynamical-systems experience. What you will practise Iterate a recurrence reliably Identify required initial data Construct a two-component state Distinguish linear and affine updates Prerequisites and study approach This microlearning belongs to Module 7, Eigenvalues and Dynamical Systems, in the Complete Linear Algebra Course. Before starting, review basic algebra and matrix–vector multiplication. The questions move from recognition and short calculations to connected reasoning. Single-select questions require one answer; multiselect questions ask you to evaluate every statement independently. The final closed-form check requires both the update rule and the initial value to agree. Work out your own result before checking the choices, then use the explanation to compare the reasoning and diagnose a mistaken assumption. This focused practice connects conceptual understanding with reliable problem solving and supports review before the next microlearning.

7.B-03 Exponential differential equations

Exponential differential equations Prepare for linear differential systems through scalar exponential solutions. Verify derivatives and initial conditions, interpret growth and decay, and recognize an eigenvector multiplied by an exponential as a vector-valued solution. What you will practise Differentiate exponential solutions Enforce an initial condition Interpret the sign of a real rate Verify a continuous eigenmode Prerequisites and study approach This microlearning belongs to Module 7, Eigenvalues and Dynamical Systems, in the Complete Linear Algebra Course. Before starting, review elementary differentiation and the scalar exponential function. The questions move from recognition and short calculations to connected reasoning. Single-select questions require one answer; multiselect questions ask you to evaluate every statement independently. The later items distinguish the initial coefficient from the exponential rate and check both pieces of an initial-value problem. Work out your own result before checking the choices, then use the explanation to compare the reasoning and diagnose a mistaken assumption. This focused practice connects conceptual understanding with reliable problem solving and supports review before the next microlearning.

7.B-04 Exponential series

Exponential series Introduce the exponential power series and its matrix counterpart through finite approximations. Focus on factorial coefficients, the identity term, matrix powers and the special cases where a truncation becomes exact. What you will practise Read scalar exponential terms Form matrix partial sums Recognize nilpotent termination Describe approximation and convergence Prerequisites and study approach This microlearning belongs to Module 7, Eigenvalues and Dynamical Systems, in the Complete Linear Algebra Course. Before starting, review matrix multiplication, factorial notation and scalar exponentials. The questions move from recognition and short calculations to connected reasoning. Single-select questions require one answer; multiselect questions ask you to evaluate every statement independently. The final approximation question checks the value, derivative and first omitted term near time zero. Work out your own result before checking the choices, then use the explanation to compare the reasoning and diagnose a mistaken assumption. This focused practice connects conceptual understanding with reliable problem solving and supports review before the next microlearning.
