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.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The final examination consists of a written test.
The written test will be comprised of exercises designed to test the ability to solve mathematical problems pertaining to the course syllabus, along with multiple-choice or true/false questions, and open-ended questions that will require the student to illustrate the proof of one of the theorems disccused in the course. The teachers will clearly indicate during the lectures which of the proofs presented in the course are examinable.
The duration of each written exam is commensurate with the number, structure, and difficulty of the exercises and questions assigned, but indicatively the exam is expected to last two and a half hours. During the semester in which the course is taught, there will also be a two-hour midterm which, if passed, will entitle the student to take fewer exercises in the written tests of the first two available appeals. The outcomes of the written and midterm exams will be communicated on SIFA through the UNIMIA portal. The final exam grade will be expressed on a scale from 0 to 30 with integer increments; 18 is the minimum passing grade.
