Prerequisites
Fundamental knowledge, not necessarily the finished exam in subjects MA0001, MA0003. Finished subject MA0015 is an advantage, because the students will follow up with the contents of the subject.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The subject serves as a preliminary, algebraic look at geometry. The contents of the subject will be followed up in Geometry 2 (MA0009).
Learning outcomes
Having completed the course, the students will a) know some basic concepts in the theory of vector spaces and affine spaces (vector coordinates, affine coordinates, basis, dimension, etc.); b) have skills in working with matrices (computation of a determinant, solution of linear system of equations, transformation of coordinates, vector and scalar product of vectors); c) know and use mathematical notation in the area of linear and affine mappings; d) be acquainted with some parts of analytical geometry, and thus they will be prepared for the follow-up subject Geometry 2.
Syllabus
  • 1. Vector space and its subspace, its basis, dimension, coordinates.
  • 2. Affine space and its subspace, its basis, dimension, affine coordinates.
