For:   ED   KTS   MT  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 87
Rec. self-study hours: 73

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
To give a unified framework for geometrical and algebraic techniques, with applications in analysis, mechanics, computer graphics, numerical analysis, mathematical statistics, control theory, linear optimization and other subjects. It is also included to develop the ability of using the mathematical language both written and oral. It is necessary for the participant to be able to
  • solve systems of linear equations
  • work with inner and cross product
  • calculate with matrices and determinants
  • calculate with vectors and coordinates in a vector space
  • determine the matrix for a linear transformation and the kernel and the range for such matrices
  • determine ON-basis in an inner product space
  • do orthogonal projection on subspaces and to use least squares approximations
  • solve problems by changing basis
  • determine and to use eigenvalues and eigenvectors in different problems
  • use the spectral theorem in different problems
  • determine the canonical basis of quadratic forms and to use these to solve geometrical problems.
  • carry out inspections of results and partial results, in order to verify that these are correct or reasonable
  • solve system of linear ordinary differential equations
