The first part held by prof. F. Odetti deals with Linear Algebra and Analytic
Geometry.
The second part held by prof. E. Mainini deals with Analysis and Calculus.
In this web page we deal with the first part of Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry
Prerequisites: Linear algebra: matrices, linear systems, gaussian
elimination.
Vector spaces: Subspaces, linearly independent vectors, generators (spanning
sets), bases, dimension.
Diagonal form of a matrix: eigenvalues, eigenvectors, eigenspaces.
Scalar products. Orthogonal vectors. Orthonormal bases. Orthogonal matrices.
Spectral theorem (symmetric matrices are diagonalizable). Quadratic forms.
Analytic geometry of plane: conic sections.
Analytic geometry of space: lines, planes, distances, circles, spheres.
An outline of the program is the following:
