2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the notions and techniques of Linear Algebra and Differential/ Integral Calculus. The student learns to handle problems concerning matrices, determinants, linear systems, derivatives and integrals of real functions of a single real variable. Various problems related to the above subjects are examined.

On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

1. To understand and handle the notions of matrix and determinant.
2. To solve linear systems.
3. To investigate problems of Calculus coming from various applications.

General Skills

Upon successful completion of the program students will:
• The possibility to apply the previous techniques in order to solve problems arising from other sciences.

3. COURSE CONTENTS

• Matrices
Basic operations on matrices(sum, scalar product, matrix product and its properties, inversion of a matrix, characteristic polynomial and characteristic values).
• Determinants
The notion of determinant, calculation of determinants, properties of determinants and applications.
• Linear Systems
• Derivative of a real function of a single real variable, tangent equation at a point of a curve, applications.
• Integral of a real function of a single real variable (integration methods, definite integral and applications).
