  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: First cycle degree programme (L) in Physics (cod. 9244)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student knows the theory of vector spaces (real and complex) of finite dimension and linear applications. He also acquires the fundamental notions of analytic geometry in the plane and in space. In particular, the student is able to: solve linear systems; search for eigenvectors and eigenvalues; diagonalizing real symmetric matrices and Hermitian matrices; solve simple geometry problems.
