Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Methods of individual activities, Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide the students with basic acquirements to use the selected knowledge from linear algebra and its applications.
A student acquires a satisfactory view of some topics of the linear algebra. The obtained knowledge enable students to use the mathematical appliance in various areas of mathematics and in special courses of their specialization.
Prerequisites
The course demands the knowledge of basic algebraic and geometric topics of mathematics in secondary schools.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Home assignment evaluation, Work-related product analysis

Credit requirements: active participation in seminars with at most three hours absent, and at least 50% success in written test. The course is completed by written exam, at least 55% of success is required. An oral form of the exam is optional, upon a student's request.
