The goal is to provide the basic notions about linear algebra and geometry of first and second degree.
The course is held through classroom lectures, using the blackboard.
During the course many exercises are solved.
Cartesian product. Algebraic structures. Groups, rings, fields. Matrices. Vector spaces. Endomorphisms. Diagonalization. Bilinear forms. Scalar products. Hermitian products. Spectral theorem.
Affine spaces. Projective spaces. Linear geometry. Conics. Quadrics.
