The teaching methodology will include - Theory classes, where the knowledge that students must acquire will be presented. A textbook (Linear Algebra and its Applications, by David C. Lay) will be followed to facilitate its development. Students will receive the course syllabus and are expected to prepare classes in advance. - Resolution of exercises by the student that will serve as self-evaluation and to acquire the necessary skills. - Problem classes, in which the problems proposed to the students are developed and discussed. - The teacher may pose problems and work to solve individually or in group. - The teacher will set his schedule of individual tutorials. There will be no group tutoring.
