Student gets familiar with the basic concepts of linear algebra that are needed for the further study in mathematics. He learns to think mathematicaly and practices the rigorous mathematical language. At tutorials the student acquires practical applied knowledge of the subject.
Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge and understanding of basic concepts and definitions in linear algebra.
Application: Solving problems using the theory.
Reflection: Understanding of the theory from the applications.
Transferable skills: The skill to transfer the theory into practice.
