Course objectives
The course is the first part of the four semester block of Mathematics in its exetended form. In the entire course, the fundamentals of general algebra and number theory, linear algebra and analysis, numerical methods, combinatorics as well as probability and statistics are presented. Passing this four semester course will allow the student to deal with basic mathematical concepts and problems and he/she will master the discrete and continuous intuition necessary for the mathematical formulation of real problems. The first part of the course, in particular, aims at the principles of mathematics, linear algebra, elementary geometry and some explicit applications. The extended version adds more demanding mathematical tools and relations to the content of MB101.
Syllabus
  • Additionally to the content of MB101, we shall cover: 1. Warm up -- axiomatics of scalars, formal proofs, inclusion and exclusion principle, matrix calculus in the plane, formal constructions of numbers
  • 2. Vectors and matrices -- Laplace development of determinants, abstract vector spaces, linear mappings, unitary and adjoint mappings
  • 3. Linear models -- Perron (-Frobenius) theory of positive matrices, canonical matrix forms and decompositions, pseudoinverses
  • 4. Analytical geometry -- projective extension, affine, Euclidean and projective classification of quadrics.
