Abstract
The course introduces students to the elements of linear algebra and analytic geometry provides the foundations for understanding some of the main concepts of modern mathematics. There is a strong emphasis in this course on complete proofs of almost all results. We will approach the subject from both a practical point of view (learning methods and acquiring computational skills relevant for problem-solving) and a theoretical point of view (learning a more abstract and theoretical approach that focuses on achieving a deep understanding of the different abstract concepts). Topics covered include matrix algebra, systems of linear equations, permutations, determinants, complex numbers, fields, abstract vector spaces, bilinear and quadratic forms, Euclidean spaces, some elements of analytic geometry, linear operators. It took mathematicians at least two hundred years to comprehend these objects. We plan to accomplish this in one year. There are no formal prerequisites for this course. However, a reasonable knowledge of some of the fundamentals of high school mathematics such as: working with rational and real numbers, fractions, basic algebraic manipulations, geometry, and some trigonometry is assumed. Familiarity with basic mathematical concepts (sets, functions etc.) is a plus. Calculus is not required for this course.

Interim Assessment
- 2022/2023 2nd moduleThe cumulative course grade for the first semester, C1, is obtained without rounding by the following formula: C1 = 5/16*O1 + 4/16*W1 + 4/16*Q1 + 3/16*H1. The intermediate course grade for the first semester, I1, is obtained by the following formula: I1 = Round1(3/10*E1 + 7/10*C1),
- 2022/2023 4th moduleThe cumulative course grade for the second semester, C2, is obtained without rounding by the following formula: C2 = 5/16*O2 + 4/16*W2 + 4/16*Q2 + 3/16*H2. The intermediate course grade for the second semester, I2, is obtained by the following formula: I2 = Round2(3/10*E2 + 7/10*C2)
