Learning objectives
The course aims to provide knowledge and techniques of linear algebra for the purpuse of providing tools for resolving linear systems, diagonalising matrices and simply describing the behaviours of geometric bodies in the plane and in space.

Teaching methods
Privileged education mode is the frontal lesson that offered arguments from a formal point of view, accompanied by significant examples, applications and exercise.
Assessment methods and criteria
Verification of learning takes place through a written test and an oral. In the written examination through the exercises proposed by the student must demonstrate that they possess the basica knowledge of ilinear algebra and analytical geometry. In the oral examination the student must be able to conduct its own demonstrations relating to the themes of the course using an appropriate language and mathematical formalism.
