Overall objectives:

1 - As a key objective of learning the basic concepts of vector spaces; Applications Linear, Matrix Algebra, Systems of Linear Equations and Quadratic forms.
2 - We also aimed at the cognitive development of students through the discussion of the concepts and results, as well as examples and counterexamples of the analyzed topics.
3 - The aim is also that students are able to investigate conditions where certain results are always valid, and in other cases it does not happen.

Syllabus:

1 - Matrix Algebra.
2 - Systems of Linear Equations.
3 - vector spaces over a field.
4 - Linear Applications between vector spaces.
5 - Quadratic forms.
