ELEMENTS OF GEOMETRY
(objectives)
In the course students are taught the basics of linear algebra and analytic geometry in the plane and in space. In particular the essential notions for solving a system of linear equations are developed, to calculate the rank of a matrix and of its other invariants. As far as the notions of analytical geometry are concerned, particular attention will be paid to the notion of scalar product and to the study of conics and quadrics
