SPECIFIC AIMS: This discipline has two main objectives: the promotion of logical reasoning and methods of analysis and the introduction and theoretical development of a set of concepts that will be fundamental to support the study of other disciplines along this course of studies.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Learning Outcomes: At the end of the semester, students should be: 1. capable of analysing and solving systems of linear equations; 2. acquainted with basic matrix operations and its properties; 3. capable of defining a non-singular matrix and be acquainted with the properties of an inverse matrix and its calculation; 4. capable of defining the determinant of a matrix and be acquainted with its properties and calculation; 5. capable of defining vector space, vector subspace and Euclidian space; 6. capable of defining linear combination of vectors, linear independence/dependence vectors and subspace; 7. capable of defining and determining a base and the dimension of a vector space; be capable of obtaining the components of a vector in relation with its base; 8. capable of defining a linear transformation and calculate and characterize its kernel; be acquainted with algebraic operations and define and calculate inverse transformation; 9. capable of using a matrix to represent a linear transformation and operate linear transformations using matrix algebra; 10. capable of defining a change of base matrix and apply it to problems of change of base that involve elements of a vector space and linear transformations; 11. capable of defining similar matrices and be acquainted with their properties; 12. capable of calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear transformations and to be acquainted with their properties, and if possible identify a diagonal matrix representation for a linear transformation.

According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP
Students have to attend to two mini-tests. Final mark will be based on the average mark of the two exams. The dates of the mini-test and the final exam have not yet been set. The exams are closed book exams.
Not applicable
Although working students are exempt from classes, they must do the mini-tests
After the normal exam season, students who have less or equal to 12 values in one or more mini-tests, can make another mini-test(s), at the "recurso" test.
Students are not allowed to use a graphics calculator on the exam.
