Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Discuss the axioms of real vector spaces together with their properties and motivation.
2. Discuss and apply the methods of real vector spaces (e.g., linear maps, kernels, dimension).
3. Solve systems of linear equations and relate their properties to vector spaces.
4. Describe basic properties of univariate polynomials and apply the Euclidean algorithm for this setting.
5. Discuss and apply linear codes to simple situations, such as error detection.
