Course objectives

Teaching students fundamental methods of general algebra, linear algebra, number theory; acquaintance with basic algebraic structures – groups, rings and fields; creation of a base for studying basic concepts and methods of modern mathematics; formation of mathematical thinking among students; familiarity with methods of mathematical evidence; studying algorithms for solving specific mathematical problems. Teaching students the ability to independently study educational and scientific literature in the field of mathematics.

As a result of studying the course, a student should be able to:

  • perform operations with complex numbers in algebraic and trigonometric form, extract roots of complex numbers, apply De Moivre’s formula;
  • calculate determinants;
  • perform operations with matrices;
  • solve systems of linear equations;
  • find a basis of a vector space, the sum and intersection of subspaces, the coordinates of a vector in a given basis, find the rank of a matrix and system of vectors;
  • find the eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors of a matrix and linear operator;
  • reduce a quadratic form to the canonical form;
  • reduce the matrix of an orthogonal operator to the canonical form;
  • find an orthonormal basis, an orthogonal complement of a subspace;
  • determine whether a given subset is a subgroup of a group, a subring or an ideal of a ring, a subfield of a field;
  • perform calculations in the factor group, factor ring
