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 .


Detailed Course Content
