Description and Contextualization of the SubjectToggle Navigation
The objective of the subject is to deepen into some of the topics of linear algebra and geometry that were treated more superficially in the course Linear Algebra and Geometry I (canonical forms, affine, euclidean and proyective geometry, conics and quadrics). Both subjects belong to the same module and have as a common objective to learn main concepts of both linear algebra and affine and euclidean geometry. The aim is to use such knowledge to solve both linear problems using matrices and geometric problems of the plane and the space.
Another purpose of these courses is students to acquire a basic and horizontal training in these matters that allow them to understand and apply such knowledge and skills in multiple interrelated directions. Indeed, most of the contents in them will be used in higher courses.

MethodologyToggle Navigation
The theoretical sessions will be presented in the lectures, following the basic references contained in the Bibliography and the mandatory material. These lectures will be complemented with problem-solving classes in the practical classroom work sessions, in which the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes will be applied. Finally, in the seminar sessions, students will take a more active role and will develop and discuss representative examples/exercises of the contents of the subject. In order the discussion to be more productive, those exercises will be given to the students in advance so that they can work on them before the seminar.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
- Continuous Assessment System
- Final Assessment System
- Tools and qualification percentages:
- See GUIDELINES (%): 100
Ordinary Call: Orientations and DisclaimerToggle Navigation
Final written exam: %80-%100
Individual and/or group tasks: 0-%20
If any student renounces the continuous evaluation method, the final written exam of the usual call
counts the 100% of the final mark.
Extraordinary Call: Orientations and DisclaimerToggle Navigation
Same percentages as in the ordinary call. The qualification of the students who have not previously passed the individual and/or group tasks part will depend solely on the written exam of the extraordinary call. Similarly, if any student renounces the continuous evaluation method, the final written exam of the extraordinary call counts the 100% of the final mark.
