ATTENDING STUDENTS
Course syllabus
1) Basic algebraic tools and algorithms
Integers: induction; division; Euclidean algorithm; prime numbers; integer factorization.
Polynomials with real coefficients. Roots. Irreducible polynomials. Factorization of polynomials.
Linear systems; Gauss-Jordan method.
Matrices and their algebra.

2) An outline of abstract algebra
Sets and relations: equivalence relations, partial orderings,maps. Congruence: the integers mod n.
Algebraic structures and their homomorphisms: groups, rings (fields and polynomial rings).

3) Linear Algebra
Vector spaces. Bases. Linear maps and matrices; the rank of a matrix. Determinants of square matrices. Inverse matrices: existence and computing. Cramer and Rouché-Capelli theorems. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

The course will be supported by practical exercises to improve comprehension of the several subjects discussed during lectures.
