Learning outcomes |
The main objective of this curricular unit (CU) is to provide the student with an introduction to the basic concepts and techniques of Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis. At the end of this UC, the student must:
- understand the fundamental properties of matrices, including determinants and inverse matrices, and solve systems of linear equations by direct methods;
- understand and know how to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix:
- know how to describe and analyze numerical methods for solving nonlinear equations, systems of linear equations and nonlinear equations, methods for polynomial interpolation, methods for approximating integrals and methods for approximating solutions to simple ordinary differential equations (initial value problems).

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The type of classes is theoretical + practical. The teacher explains the theoretical part of the subject, interspersed with solving examples. Students, independently, analyze, discuss and apply, under the guidance of teachers, the main concepts covered.
The teaching-learning methodology is centered on the student, who, throughout the semester, acquires and applies the concepts, through their autonomous work. In this way, particular importance is given to periodic assessment, which allows the student to, throughout the semester, gradually demonstrate the skills acquired through their work.
