Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successfully completing the course, students are able to explain fundamental concepts from the listed topics in linear algebra. They can apply their knowledge to systematically solve more advanced mathematical problems. Furthermore, they are able to use problem-solving techniques for concrete examples.

This exercise is methodically complemented by the lecture Mathematik für Physik II (Lineare Algebra).

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • explain mathematical problems and concepts as well as mathematical proofs (k2);
  • independently develop mathematical solutions and proofs of mathematical problems in the field of linear algebra (k3);
  • apply concepts and problem-solving strategies to new and unfamiliar questions, selecting and using appropriate mathematical methods (k3/k4);
  • present their solutions to the group and discuss different approaches (k3/k4).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas of linear algebra:

  • vector spaces;
  • linear mappings, matrices, determinants and systems of linear equations;
  • eigenvalues and eigenvectors;
  • normed spaces;
  • sesquilinear forms, scalar product spaces;
  • Fourier decomposition and transformation;
  • multilinear mappings.
