Course objectives
The goals of the course are:
- application of analytical methods to study of conic sections in the projective, affine and euclidean plane;
- application of analytical methods to study of quadrics in the projective, affine and euclidean space;
- support spatial imagination of students.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
- understand and explain complex extension of vector and affine spaces;
- work with bilinear and quadratic forms;
- understand the theory of conic sections and quadrics, especially projective and metric classification;
- interpret algebraic results in the geometrical sense.
