Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
The student will obtain the basic knowledge of the methods and usage of linear algebra and geometry and will start learning to use the mathematical software.
Learning objectives
The student will learn to solve the linear systems of equations and get basic knowledge from the matrix theory, the theory of the vector spaces and geometry which is necessary for well-understanding to the related courses. In the laboratory practices the student will learn to use MATLAB software for solving problems of linear algebra.
Progress assessment
The active attendance at the computer practices.
