Course content
1. Introduction: Elements of mathematical logic, sets, relations, mappings, algebraic structures. 2. Matrices: Operations with matrices, vector space of matrices, ring of square matrices. Determinants: Definition, calculation of determinants. 3. Systems of equations: Homogeneous and nonhomogeneous systems and their solutions, the Frobenius theorem, Gauss elimination, the Cramer rule. 4. Vector spaces: Subspace, subspace generated by a set, basis, dimension. 5. Affine spaces, affine coordinates, affine subspaces, expression of subspaces by means of equations, relative position of affine subspaces. 6. Homomorphisms and isomorphisms of vector spaces: Arithmetical vector spaces and their importance for description of vector spaces, coordinates of vectors according to a given basis, transformation of coordinates as consequense of change of basis, matrix of transformation, matrix of endomorphism. 7. Inner product spaces: Inner product, length of a vector, angle between vectors, orthogonal and orthonormal basis, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, isomorphism of inner product spaces. 8.Oriented affine lines, ordered affine lines, half-lines, abscissas. Oriented affine spaces, half-spaces. 9. Euclidean spaces, metric, distance of subspaces. Angle of subspaces.
