Contents
Geometry in affine, euclidean and projective spaces; comparison of the underlying transformations and invariants, as well as the respective ways of working.
Geometry of plane algebraic curves: curves and their equations, Bézout's theorem, singularities, linear systems.
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- get to know different ways of working with geometry,
- learn about the interaction of geometric and algebraic-analytical methods,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen vermittelt werden.
