Course detail
Matrices and tensors calculus
FEKT-MMATAcad. year: 2012/2013
The subject is devoted to the systematical study of the foundations of the theory of matrices, vector spaces, linear operators - mappings, and multinear forms - tensors. The lectures are given in the context of various applications in technical and natural sciences (electrical engineering, physics, computer science and other).
