Contents

Linear algebra:

  • Vector spaces and linear maps
  • Matrices and linear systems of equations
  • Determinants and eigenvalues
  • Euclidean vector spaces and selfadjoint endomorphisms
  • geometrical aspects of linear algebra

Qualification Goals

Technical skills: The students

  • are able to master basic principles of linear and algebraic structures and apply them to simple mathematical questions,
  • acquire the basic mathematical knowledge, which is the basis for the entire course of study.

Soft skills: The students should

  • practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction, understanding of the strict axiomatic structure of mathematical areas on a (comparatively) simple structure),
  • improve their oral communication skills in the recitation class by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden Kenntnisse der Grundlagen der Mathematik, wie sie im Modul "Grundlagen der Mathematik" vermittelt werden.
