Course objectives
The course introduces basic concepts, methods, and applications of affine and Euclidean geometry.
Syllabus
  • Affine spaces and subspaces - affine coordinates, intersection and sum of subspaces, relative position of subspaces, transversals of skew subspaces, pencils and bundles of hyperplanes. Euclidean spaces and subspaces - scalar product, perpendicularity of subspaces, outer and vector product, parallelepipeds and their volumes, distance of subspaces, deviations of subspaces. Affine mappings - analytical expression of the affine mapping, invariant elements of the affine mapping, basic affine mappings, classification of affinities in the plane.
