Winter semester 2020/21
Proseminar on Linear Algebra
organized by Lothar Sebastian Krapp and Michele Serra
Final Handouts
Skew-symmetric bilinear forms (G. Schöckle)
Applications of Jordan forms to systems of linear ordinary differential equations (S. Dean)
Wednesdays 13:30-15:00, Room D406
This seminar cycle will be held in presence in the university.
The possibility of attending and/or giving the talk in video conference
is available for the students who cannot enter the campus because of the restrictions due to the Coronavirus.
Description
The aim of this cycle of seminars is to develop in more detail some topics that
were introduced in the course "Lineare Algebra II" from the Summer Semester 2020.
The talks could deal with operators on inner product spaces, applications of the spectral theorem,
bilinear forms, as well as direct methods for linear systems and their applications.
Further suggestions are welcome. Each talk will provide a review of the results from
the literature about one of these topics and illustrate them with examples and applications.
Every student should also produce a short handout about the material developed in her/his own talk.
