The course covers the basics of linear algebra:

-- definition of vector spaces and subspaces (over the real numbers and the complex numbers);

-- notion of basis and dimension of a vector space. The Grassmann formula;

-- linear maps and associated matrices. The rank of a matrix;

-- linear systems. Structure of the space of solutions. The Gauss--Jordan method;

-- determinant. Invertible matrices;

-- characteristic polynomial, eigenspaces and eigenvectors of an endomorphism;

-- scalar and hermitian products, orthogonal bases, the Gram--Schmidt method;

-- notions of angle and length via scalar products;

-- the spectral theorem (over the reals and the complex numbers);
