3. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism; characteristic polynomial; eigenspaces; bases of eigenvectors; diagonalizable endomorphisms.
4. Scalar product in R^n; geometric interpretation in R^2 e R^3; orthonormal bases; Gram-Scmidt process; orthogonal projection of a vector onto a subspace; orthogonal complement of a subspace; spectral theorem; vector product in R^3.
