Course overview

Algebraic geometry is a field of mathematics that examines multidimensional polynomial zeros. For answering geometrical questions regarding these sets of zeros, contemporary algebraic geometry relies on theoretical algebraic techniques, namely commutative algebra. Linear Algebra and Geometry 1 online certification has been created by Hania Uscka-Wehlou, University Professor in Mathematics in association with Martin Wehlou - Editor at MITM AB which is offered by Udemy.

Linear Algebra and Geometry 1 online course is to educate students on how to solve problems in linear algebra and geometry, as well as why these methods are used so frequently.
