Titular Professors
Basic calculus of matrices
Ability to discuss and solve linear systems, operate in a vector space, and work practically with the concepts of
superposition, linear dependence and independence, and linear applications.
1. Determinants and matrices.
2. Systems of linear equations.
3. Vector spaces.
4. Linear applications.
5. Diagonalization of endomorphisms.
6. Euclidean and unitary vector spaces.
The subject is taught weekly in sessions. These sessions will combine formal lectures with exercise/problem lectures and practical sessions focused on self-learning and doubt solving:
1. During teaching sessions, examples will be developed for the acquirement of the explained knowledge
2. The students will solve, individually or by groups, an exercise proposed in class, where the acquirement of knowledge will be determined. These exercises can be solved through the explanations in class or through teaching material given via eStudy.
Applied methodologies: Flipped classroom (MD7), Peer instruction (MD09) and sessions for problems and exercises solving (MD1).
3. During the session, the lecturer will solve general questions that the group has and will explain how to solve the proposed exercise.
Applied methodologies: Formal lecture (MD0)
4. The lecturer assigns individual exercises for students to complete to confirm their understanding of the concepts covered in the session. These exercises must be submitted at the end of the teaching unit (via the corresponding folder in eStudy) and will count toward the continuous assessment grade.
Applied methodologies: Peer instruction (MD9) and lecture of problems and exercises.
The evaluation of the student will be made through different elements.
- It is taken into account the attendance and participation of the student in class.
- The student will need to submit a set of exercises complete out of the lectures hours.
- There are evaluation activities made in class.

The subject grade in ordinary call (Final Grade) will be calculated by weighing two components: the exams grade (G_Ex) and the continuous assessment grade (G_CA), being N_Ex equal or higher than 4.
The exam grade (G_Ex) depends on both parts of the exam, with a minimum grade of 4 for each of them.
The continuous evaluation grade (G_CA) depend on the attendance and participation, homeworks, tests in class and practice.
In the extraordinary call on July there will be an exam of all topics.
