OVERVIEW

The course is aimed at providing the basic concepts and tools of linear algebra and analytic geometry. It is a first semester course of the first year which introduces concepts that will be used in many subsequent courses.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This teaching unit aims to provide the basic concepts of linear algebra and analytical geometry, with particular reference to: sets, complex numbers and polynomials; linear systems; matrices; vector spaces; eigenvalues and eigenvectors

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide basic concepts of linear algebra and analytic geometry, developing a "scientific" approach to study and an ability to use the tools provided to solve problems.
The student is expected to reach the ability to understand the text of an exercise / problem, set solutions through appropriate tools (chosen from those provided in the course), solve exercises / problems in a "non-mechanical", reasoned, autonomous way and express results and conclusions clearly and precisely.

Soft skill: learn to learn. Awareness of one's preferred learning strategies, organization and assessment of personal learning according to what has been understood and learned

PREREQUISITES

Basic mathematical knowledge acquired in school

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures will be devoted to developing the theoretic part of the course, as well as to solving problems aimed to a better understanding of the theory. There will be additional hours (tutorato) devoted to discussion of exercises suggested by the lecturer.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Sets. Complex numbers and polynpmials. Analytic geometry in 2 and 3 - dimensional space. Linear systems, matrices, gaussian elimination, rank and determinants. Vector spaces, homomorphisms and diagonalization. Spectral Theorem. Quadratic forms.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY
