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 the reasoning and problem-solving methods of mathematics, and transfer them to specific physical problems.

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

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

  • understand and explain basic concepts of linear algebra (k1/k2);
  • understand and apply mathematical methods and techniques in a precise and analytical way (k3);
  • apply the principles of linear algebra and transfer them to the context of physical problems (k3).
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.
