Course objectives
The aim of this second course in linear algebra is to introduce other basic notions such as affine and projective spaces, bilinear and quadratic forms, eingenvalues and eigenvectors of linear operators. In more details the spaces with scalar product and properties of orthogonal and selfadjoint operators are examined. All is applied in affine and Euclidean geometry. At the end we deal with the Jordan canonical form.
Syllabus
  • Affine geometry: affine spaces and subspaces, affine geometry and affine mappings. Linear forms: dual space, dual basis, dual homomorphism. Bilinear and quadratic forms: definition, matrix with respect to given basis, diagonalization, signature. Euklidean geometry: orthogonal projection, distance and deviation of affine subspaces. Linear operators: invariant subspaces, eigenvalues and eigen vectors, charakteristic polynomial, algebraic and geometric multiplicity of eigenvalues, conditions for diagonalization. Ortogonal a unitar operators: definition and basic properties, eigenvalues, geometric meaning. Self adjoint operators: adjoint operator, symmetric and hermitian matrices, spectral decomposition. Jordan canonical form: nilpotent endomorphisms, root subspaces, computations.
