The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic elements of linear algebra, affine and Euclidean geometry. These topics are part of the fundamentals of the study of modern mathematics and will be used in all subsequent courses. In addition, it is not a secondary objective to show students a theory that is strongly motivated by concrete problems, and that can be treated in a comprehensive and rigorous manner.
The purpose of this course is to consolidate the techniques already learned in the previous module of the same course. In particular, the aims are the followings:
At the end of the course the students will be able to:
Standard Frontal Lesson
Ricevimento: Office hours to be decided with the Professor, by writing to her e-mail address: romano@dima.unige.it

The examination consists of a written and an oral part.
Students with a certified DSA, disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course in order to agree on teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory tools.
In the written test, the student is asked to solve exercises covering the entire course syllabus.
In the oral test, students in Mathematics and SMID are required to know and be able to present the definitions, statements of theorms and their proofs seen throughout the course.
Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Sergio Di Domizio (sergio.didomizio@unige.it), the Department’s disability liaison.
