Abstract
The aim of this second course in linear algebra is to introduce other basic notions of linear algebra. Passing the course the students *will know affine spaces, bilinear and quadratic forms, eingenvalues and eigenvectors of linear operators, *they will be able to solve problems concerning the spaces with scalar product and properties of orthogonal and selfadjoint operators and *to find the Jordan canonical form.
Learning outcomes

Key topics
Affine geometry: affine spaces and subspaces, affine geometry and affine mappings. 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. Linear models, Markov processes, Leslie populatrion model. Ortogonal and unitar operators: definition and basic properties, eigenvalues, geometric meaning. Selfadjoint operators: adjoint operator, symmetric and hermitian matrices, spectral decomposition. Jordan canonical form: nilpotent endomorphisms, root subspaces, computations. Singular value decomposition, QR decomposition, pseudoinverse matrix.

The exam consists of three parts: 1. Semester-long component: You need to score at least 50% of the points in 6 short written tests. 2. Written exam during the exam period: The written exam consists of a numerical and a theoretical part. Students who pass both parts of the written exam proceed to the oral exam. 3. 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. Additional notes: The exam is designed to test your understanding of the material, not your ability to memorize definitions. 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.
