Learning Objectives

Basic knowledge of linear algebra and geometry


Course Structure

The course is structured in participatory lectures and cooperatives that provide for ongoing checks. It will aim to ensure consistency between the training objectives and the methods used, combining the frontal methodology with the dialogue one but including the possibility of applying knowledge through exercises .

Should the circumstances require online or blended teaching, appropiate modifications to what is hereby stated may be introduced in order to achieve the main objectives of the course
