Linear Algebra is a branch of Mathematics that studies objects arising from linear equations and linear functions. It is a central discipline to almost all areas of Mathematics and it is widely used in other areas of Science and Engineering. This curricular unit introduces the theoretical bases necessary to understand the topic under study, as well as the fundamental algorithms to solve certain problems of a more practical nature, such as determining the solution of a system of linear equations, inverting a matrix or calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
