In order to successfully follow this course, the student must be familiarized with the concepts and techniques of linear algebra that are the content of the first year course "Àlgebra Lineal".
It is also very important to have the notions of the course "Fonaments de les Matemàtiques" perfectly acquired.
The main goal of the course is to present to most fundamental notions in projective, affine and euclidean geometry.
On the one hand, the students will get familiar with the use of sinthetic arguments in geometry (those that do not require the use of coordinates), thus deepening in their ability to construct and expose mathematical arguments.
On the other hand, the analitical viewpoint will also be important: the student will learn to perform computations in coordinates, always looking for the most efficient and simple way to carry them on.

There will be 30 theory lectures and 15 problems lectures. Moreover there will be 4 seminar sessions (2 hours each). Attandance to these activities is highly recommended.
Tjhe student will periodically receive some problems lists and should try to solve them individually. Some of these problems are easily solved applying the concepts aqcuired in the theory lectures. Others, however, demand of a higher mathematical creativity level and may represent a good challenge to the student.
During the seminar sessions the students will work in little groups on the solution of some exercices with the help of the professor.
In any case, simply attending the lectures is completely insuficient to acquire this courses skills. A substantial amount of individual work is neccessary.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Exam #1 | 40% | 4 | 0.16 | 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 8, 7, 5 |
Exam #2 | 40% | 4 | 0.16 | 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 8, 7, 5 |
Handovers and other activities | 20% | 4 | 0.16 | 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 8, 7, 5 |
Second chance exam | 80% | 4 | 0.16 | 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 8, 7, 5 |
During the semester the students will hand over some exercsises and/or will carry out ACME activities. These handovers and activities have an overall weight of 20% in the global mark, and there is no second chance for them.
There will be two exams, with a weight of 40% each.
In case the global mark is smaller than 5, the student will have the possibility to take a second chance exam. The mark in this second chance exam will be at most 7.5 and will replace the mark obtained in the two exams.
The students who opt for the unique evaluation mode will do a final exam which will evaluate all the contents of the course. The global mark of the course will be the resulting one of this exam. If this mark is below 5, the student will have the possibility to participate in the second chance exam, with a maximum mark of 7.5.
The students will obtain the "Non-assessable" qualification when the evaluation activities carried out have a weighting of less than 50%.
