| Contents | Vector spaces in basic sciences. Notable examples. Polynomials as a vector space. Review of analytical geometry. Euclidean Geometry in dimensions 2 and 3. The notion of linearity. An algorithmic approach to classical problems of algebra and linear algebra and analytic geometry. Basics of computer science and coding. Illustration of at least one Computer Algebra package. |
| Reference texts | Algebra lineare e geometria, E. Schlesinger, Zanichelli |
| Educational objectives | The main objective of the course is to provide on the one hand the basics of the language of linear algebra and, on the other hand, the methods of solving some simple problems in an operational perspective that also includes the use of the computer tools. The main knowledge acquired will concern the basic notions of linear algebra related to vector spaces and linear applications and the algorithmic methods of solving classical mathematical problems. The main skills that the course aims to transmit are: - be able to describe simple problems related to basic sciences using the language of mathematics, and in particular linear algebra - knowing how to solve, even with the aid of a computer, simple numerical problems related to linear systems, polynomial equations, analytical geometry. |
| Prerequisites | A good knowledge of high school math subjects. |
| Teaching methods | The course consists of classroom lectures on all topics of the course. In each lesson about half of the time will be devoted to solving problems and exercises |
| Other information | |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of a written test (or two progress assessments) and a final oral exam. The written exam requires the solution of 4 problems and it has a duration of 2 hours.Its objectives are to evaluate the resolutive capacity of the problems and the proper use of acquired knowledge. The oral exam consists of a talk of about 20 minutes. It is aimed at testing the degree of comprehension the students have reached, expositive skills and capacity of finding connections between the topics studied. If it is required, the exam can be taken in English |
