Annotation
The course covers the initial parts of linear algebra. Firstly, the basic notions of a linear space and linear mappings are covered (linear dependence and independence, basis, coordinates, etc). The calculus of matrices (determinants, inverse matrices, matrices of a linear map, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalisation, etc) is covered next. The applications include solving systems of linear equations, the geometry of a 3D space (including the scalar product and the vector product) and SVD.
