Learning Outcomes

This course aims to provide students with the mathematical foundations necessary for the undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering ? Electric Power Systems. It seeks to develop students? abilities in logical reasoning and abstraction, as well as their capacity to apply mathematical concepts to problem-solving in engineering contexts.
Upon successful completion of all course activities, students are expected to be able to:
- Perform fundamental matrix operations, compute the inverse of a regular matrix, and solve matrix equations (LO1);
- Compute determinants (LO2);
- Utilize determinants and matrices to solve and analyze systems of linear equations (LO3);
- Identify and operate within vector spaces (LO4);
- Determine eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear transformations (LO5);
- Compute scalar, vector, and mixed products in three-dimensional space; determine equations of lines and planes and their intersections; and calculate distances involving lines and planes in three-dimensional space (LO6);
- Apply acquired knowledge to real-life case studies using digital escape rooms (LO7).
