Enabling students to think abstractly and gain new knowledge in the field of elementary, general, abstract and linear algebra, as well as in the fundamentals of classic combinatorics. The aim of this course is to develop a special way of thinking by using principles of the linear algebra and its applications. The knowledge they gain is a basis for a better understanding other professional courses and for a successful continuation in studies.

Acquired knowledge is used in further education and professional courses. Mathematical models are designed and solved in professional courses using the material from this course. Knowledge they have acquired, students learn to apply methods of linear algebra and to choose algorithms for solving future problems in professional field.

Lectures (Theoretical lectures). Logic, relations, functions, Boolean algebra, groups, rings, fields, polynomials, complex numbers, finite fields, free vectors, analytical geometry in space (vector!), determinants, systems of linear equations, vector space, matrices, characteristic roots and vectors. Practice lectures In practice classes adequate examples and tests from the theoretical lectures are done in order to exercise lectured theory where exercises contribute to understanding of the theory.

Lectures; Computing practice. Consultations. Lectures are dynamic and interactive. In lectures theoretical part of the course is presented accompanied by characteristic and representative examples in order to better understand the matter. In practice, which follows lectures, typical problems are solved and lectured theory is deepened. Besides lectures and practice, regular consultations and group consultations are also held. Part of the course, which is a logical unit, can be passed within the teaching process in the following 2 modules (the first module: relations, functions, Boolean algebra, groups, rings, fields, polynomials, complex numbers, finite fields, free vectors, analytical geometry in space (vector!); the second module: determinants, system of linear equations, vector space, matrices, characteristic roots and vectors. Theoretical part is passed through the test (elimination and basic), Practical part is passed through solving five serious problems.
