AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Purpose of the course is to provide algebraic computational tools and analytic geometric knowledges of two and three dimensional spaces.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures: theoretical lessons (three hours in a week) and classroom resolution of exercises (two hours in a week).

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Complex numbers: algebraic, trigonometric and exponential form. Algebraic equations: fundamental theorem of algebra, factorization of real and complex polynomials. Matrices and linear systems: algebra of matrices, determinants, Gaussian elimination. Vector and Euclidean spaces: linear dependence, bases and dimension. The diagonal form of a real matrix. Space analytic geometry: vector calculus, coordinate system, planes, lines, sphere, circles.
