Lesson Plan: LDU and PLU Decomposition Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to find the LDU and PLU decompositions of a matrix.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- find the PLU decomposition of a matrix when an LU decomposition cannot be found,
- recognize correct PLU decompositions of matrices,
- find LDU decompositions of matrices.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- matrices,
- Gaussian elimination,
- LU decomposition and Doolittle’s algorithm.
