Course Objectives
It is expected that the students will:
- learn basic methods of linear algebra;
- learn how to apply them;
- get enough expirience with technical tools of linear algebra;
- be able to show results of their study during the exams.
Course Content
Matrices, determinants and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces, the Euclidian space, inner product spaces, linear transformations. Eigenvalues, diagonalization.
Course Learning Outcomes
The students will gain certain expirience in recognizing/expressing problems of linear nature in terms of linear algebra and in solving them by using linear methods, when available. On this way the students will have to attain certain theoretical background in basic linear algebra.
