Educational objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to solve linear systems and simple linear algebra problems (determine the basis and dimension of a subspace, determine the rank of a matrix that may depend on a parameter, determine the kernel and image of a linear application, determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism). They should also be able to apply linear algebra to geometric problems in space. Additionally, they should be able to express the main theoretical concepts of the course in a mathematically correct and unambiguous language, demonstrating familiarity with the basic notations of modern mathematics.
Prerequisites
Basic notions of mathematics and logic.
Teaching methods
Frontal lectures.
Other information
Attendance is not mandatory but highly recommended.
Learning verification modality
The exam consists of a final written test. The written test is divided into two parts, to be completed within a total of 180 minutes. The first part of the exam is theoretical, and passing it is necessary to access the second part of the written test. The first part of the exam does not contribute to the final grade. The second part of the written exam consists of exercises on the following topics: Linear Systems, Matrices, Homomorphisms, Affine and Euclidean Geometry. The final mark will be expressed on a scale of 30. For information on support services for students with disabilities and / or SLD, visit the page http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
