Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
The student should be able to use vectors, linear transformations, matrices. He/she should know the notion and applications of dot product, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenspaces of linear transformations, rank-2 manifolds in n-dimensional spaces.
Assessment criteria
In order to pass the course, the student will have to pass recitations (based on two colloquia and short class tests) and the final exam. The details will be announced at the beginning of the semester after consultations with instructors.
