Math Fundamentals: Algebra

In this course you will be reminded of what an equation with a single unknown is and how to solve it. From there, we will deal with: Systems of linear equations. How they are defined, how they are classified and how they are solved using Gauss' method. The concept of matrix and operations between matrices. The calculation of inverse matrices using Gaussian and adjoint methods. An introduction to matrix equations The determinant of a square matrix and its calculation The rank of a matrix The matrix expression of a system of linear equations and Cramer's rule

• You will learn about systems of linear equations and their solution.
• We will introduce the concept of matrix
• You will learn how to perform operations with matrices, how to calculate inverse matrices and determinants of square matrices.

• To approach this course it is sufficient to know how to perform operations between real numbers and to be clear about the concepts of: equation, unknown and solution of an equation.
