Educational Goals

This course is dedicated to first year undergraduate students in Engineering. It introduces the main tools of linear algebra: vector spaces, linear systems, diagonalizability, bilinear and quadratic forms. All of these are essential instruments for any further course. The second part of the course is dedicated to analytic geometry in affine and Euclidean spaces of dimension 2 or 3: spheres, revolution surfaces, conics and quadrics are discussed. These are also classical topics, necessary for any scientific or technical degree.

Content

Linear algebra and its applications. In particular, in the first part of the course we shall introduce the theory of vector spaces, matrices and linear systems. Then, we shall apply these results to the study of analytical geometry. More in detail we shall study affine and euclidean geometry in dimension 2 and 3 (in a complexified projective completion) and describe conics and quadrics in these spaces.

FULL PROGRAMME

1. Naive Set theory
Functions and relations; basic algebraic structures

2. Vector spaces
Definition; linear dependence; generator sets and bases; Steinitz' lemma; dimension.
Subspaces; intersection and sum; direct sum; Grassmann's formula.

3. Matrices
Matrix vector spaces; row/column product; rank and determinant.
Linear systems; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; diagonalizable matrices.

4. Bilinear and quadratic forms
Real symmetric matrices; orthogonal and orthonormal bases; Gram-Schmidt's ortonormalization.
The spectral theorem.

5. Analytic geometry in dimension 2 and 3

Affine and euclidean spaces. Analytic geometry in the plane and in 3-space: lines, planes, circles, spheres and revolution surfaces. Completion and complexification of an Euclidean space. Conics: polarities, centre, axes and asymptotes; reduction of the equation of a conic to canonical form. Quadrics: classification depending on multiple points; investigation of planar sections; identification of an irreducible quadric.
