Intended learning outcomes
The students shall be able to:
Use elementary vector algebra.
Describe lines and planes with vector equations.
Discuss applications of linear systems, and their solutions
Use elementary matrix algebra.
Evaluate determinants and explain the importance of a determinantequaling zero
Use a Matrix to describe a transformation, explain how to obtain a transformation matrix and to find transformation matrices for single transformations or a composition of transformations.
Use transformations for applications in R2 and R3.
Describe subspaces in R2 and R3, and find the base for a subspace.
Explain the principle of orthogonal projections and find the projection on a subspace.
Explain the principles of coordinates and a change of base, and find and use a transitation matrix.
Solve simple eigenvalue problems.
Calculate or compute permutations or combinations for selections, with or without respect to order.
Desricribe fundamental principles in set theory, use binarary operations on sets and use Venn diagrams.
Apply set theory on compinatorical calculations.
Explain the principles of conclusion an inclusion and use them in combinatorical calculations.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Assignments, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN2 - Laboratory Work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Computational test (1,5 hp), examining the ability to use the computer for mathematical cumputations. Grade P, F.
Computational assignments(1,5hp) examining the ability to use methods in applied problems; Individual oral examination. Grade P, when all tasks are passed.
Written examination (4,5hp), examining theory, concepts and methods.
Grade: A-F.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
