LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
1. Define and understand the concepts described in the course content and apply them in exercises;
2. Identify, discuss and explain the concepts described in the course content;
3. Apply, analyse and link the terms of the course content with problems appearing in further study of physics (e.g. the concepts of vector spaces, matrices, linearly independent vectors, base of a space, rank of a matrix, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous system of linear equations, elementary transformations, the reduced form, solvability of linear system, the Gauss elimination);
4. To judge and determine which of the methods is best suited for solving a system of linear equations;
COURSE DESCRIPTION:

14. Gauss-Jordan algorithm with numerous examples;
15. Square systems and Gauss elimination, LR factorization;
REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS:
Students must solve 50% of the written exams (two times in the semester). Each exam consists of two parts: examples and theory, and is evaluated separately. Students must have lecture attendance of at least 50% and should collect at least 48 out of 100 points (which also include home works).
(First semester, 30 hours of lectures plus 30 hours of exercises)
GRADING AND ASSESSING THE WORK OF STUDENTS:
Grading and assessing the work of students during the semesters:
* Two written exams
* Home works
Grading at the end of semester:
* final oral exam for those who collected at least 88% points and wish grade A
Contributions to the final grade:
* 10% of the grade is carried by the results of the home works
* 10% of the grade will be based on presence (attendance)
* 40% of the grade is carried by the results of the two written exams.
