MAMO2300 Linear Algebra and Introduction to Group theory Course description

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

The course builds on

• DAPE1300 - Discrete Mathematics
• DAFE1000 - Mathematics 1000

The course can advantageously be taken simultaneously with DAPE2000 - Mathematics 2000 with Statistics. Linear algebra and matrices appear in both courses, but the approach and focus are different.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge The student has acquired a basic understanding of the following programming topics:

• types
• instructions, instruction sequences and instruction jumps
• functions (procedures)
• tables (arrays)
• classes and objects
• inheritance
• polymorphism

Skills

The student is capable of handling the following programming constructs in Java:

• operators and types
• control structures
• classes, constructors and methods
• abstractions and simple graphic user interfaces

General competence

The student is familiar with:

• basic principles for creating programs
• the connection between programming language and program development
• concepts relating to the quality and readability of code

Lectures and individual exercises. The exercises are based on the students’ own work, supervised by the lecturer and/or a student assistant.
