20410009 - ELEMENTS OF GEOMETRY

In the course students are taught the basics of linear algebra and analytic geometry in plane and space. In particular, the essential notions are developed to solve a system of linear equations, to calculate the rank of a matrix and its other invariants. As for the notions of
analytical geometry will pay particular attention to the notion of scalar product and to the study of conics and quadrics
