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
In the central recitation class, basic structures from linear algebra are practiced in depth (elementary set theory, natural numbers and integers, mathematical induction, rational numbers, maps, functions, relations, groups, fields).
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 basic mathematical knowledge.
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
None.
Applicability
This module is an export-only module, and can as such only be used in other study programs, not in B.Sc. Mathematics.
