Assessment methods
The exam consists of three parts: a semester-long component, a written exam during the exam period, and an oral exam. To pass the semester-long component, you need to score at least 50% of the points in 6 short written tests. The written exam during the exam period consists of a numerical and a theoretical part. You need to score at least 5 points out of 10 in the theoretical part and 7 points out of 12 in the numerical part. Students who pass both parts of the written exam proceed to the oral exam. During the oral exam, you will be required to demonstrate understanding of the topics covered and the ability to illustrate the concepts and theorems with examples. Exam requirements: Mastery of the material covered in lectures and tutorials. In the case of distance learning, the material is available on the course website throughout the semester. You will be asked about definitions, theorems, examples, and proofs. Emphasis is placed on understanding. It is not enough to know the definitions and theorems; you need to be able to provide examples of the defined concepts and the main theorems. You are also required to be able to perform simple proofs. Here is a list of topics that are absolutely required. If you do not know these topics, you will fail the exam: 1. The concept of a vector space, examples. 2. The concept of a vector subspace, examples, sum and intersection. 3. The concept of linear independence of vectors, examples. 4. The concept of a linear span, examples. 5. Explanation of an algorithm that selects linearly independent vectors with the same linear span from a list of vectors. 6. Basis of a vector space, coordinates of a vector in a given basis, dimension, examples. 7. Linear transformation, kernel, image, examples. 8. Rank of a matrix. 9. Solving systems of linear equations, theorems on the structure of solutions, examples of these theorems. 10. Definition of the determinant using its properties. Additional notes: You are encouraged to ask questions during lectures and tutorials if you do not understand something. There are many resources available to help you prepare for the exam, including the textbook, lecture notes, and online resources.
