Prerequisite: MAA201
Quadratic forms and applications
(MAA206) is a continuation of Euclidian
and Hermitian spaces (MAA201) and
covers objects in bilinear algebra. These
objects, mainly quadratic forms, have
fundamental applications (e.g. in Number
Theory and Mechanics), and also lead
to the study of algebraic objects; for instance,
some special groups of matrices,
whose applications in mathematics and
physics are fundamental, from Number
Theory and geometry to the classification
of particles.
