Course objectives
Linear algebra belongs to basic mathematical education. Passing the course, the students should understand basic notions concerning vector spaces and linear maps and simultaneously they should have good computational skills with matrices and systems of linear equations.
Syllabus
  • Vector spaces, subspaces. Linear span, intersection and sum of subspaces. Linear dependance and independance of vectors. Basis and dimension of a vector space. Matrices and determinants. Systems of linear equations. Euclidean vector spaces. Linear maps of vector spaces. Linear transformations and their matrices. Orthogonal mappings, orthogonal matrices.
