Learning objectives
Linear Algebra is an essenzial part of the store of mathematicalknowledge required of mathematicians, mathematics teachers, physicistsand statisticians.<br />That usefulness reflects its importance.<br />Fundamental topics are provided in order to obtain the base conceptswith which to develop geometries (projectice, affine, affine-euclidean).<br />
