Course content
The content of the course is the theory of (abstract) vector spaces. We study properties of vector spaces and linear objects defined on vector spaces. Content of lectures: Vector spaces and subspaces, linear (in)dependence of system of vectors, generating, basis, dimension. Intersection and sum of vector subspaces. Linear map and matrix of linear map in different basis, transizion matrix and transformation of coordinates. Linear forms. Bilinear and quadratic forms. Regulatiry, signature. Sylvester's law of inertia. Spaces with skalar product. Orthogonal/orthonormal systém of vectors. Gramm-Schmidt orthogonalization. Orthogonal projectors. Eigenvectors and eigenvalues of linear transformations. Jordan canonical form. Lectures of practicals: Application of linear algebra and geometry in examples.
