Course description
The successful application of algebra and geometry to solve specific problems is primarily due to the rapid growth of computer technology. The course includes analytical geometry and linear algebra. Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that studies matrices, vectors, vector spaces, linear transformations, and systems of linear equations. Analytical geometry is a section where the basic concepts are simple geometric shapes (points, lines, planes, curves, and second-order surfaces). The main means of research in analytical geometry are the method of coordinates and methods of elementary algebra.
