Linear algebra: vectors, matrices, vector spaces, linear maps, linear systems, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, spectral theory in Hermitian and euclidean spaces.
Analytic gometry of the plane and of the space: Lines and planes, Conics and quadrics.
We aim at providing basic knowledge of linear algebra and geometry, which can be used in engineering and scientific fields.
Prerequisites
Basic concepts from secondary schools (italian system)
Teaching Methods
Lessons and exercise hours
