Mathematical Methods for Digital Communication

The aim of this course is to introduce the algebraic language and the basic notions of vector spaces and linear applications. These theoretical arguments are applied to the problem of solving linear systems of equations (even from an algorithm point of view).

The student should be able to understand and to utilize the formal language of abstract algebra, vector spaces and linear applications. Moreover, he should be able to work with matrices, to associate them to linear systems and to use them to discuss their solutions.
