Descriptif
Euclidean and Hermitian Spaces continues the study of linear maps between vector spaces, started in MAA101. The goal is to obtain simple and efficient models for these applications up to suitable changes of coordinates. The concept of duality is initially introduced in the general context of mere vector spaces. Then, the focus is put on vector spaces enjoying a richer structure, namely prehilbert spaces, which is available in most applications (e.g. in solid mechanics or in quantum mechanics). The geometry of these spaces, as well as their important transformations (e.g. normal or unitary maps) is also discussed.

EXAM MODALITIES
The final exam, make-up exam, and remedial exam are written exams lasting 2 hours, or 2 hours and 40 minutes if you have been granted additional time.
AUTHORIZED MATERIAL FOR EXAM
Notes, slides, calculators, devices, etc, are not authorized.
Only pens are allowed.
GRADING SCHEME
Grades in MAA206 are determined by your performance on two short tests, the midterm exam, and the final exam.
******************
Each test and exam is graded on a scale from 0 to 100.
Your final grade (FG) is the maximum of:
1) The grade from the final exam
2) 70% of the average of the grades from the midterm and final exams, plus 30% of the average of the grades from Test 1 and Test 2
******************
Your final grade will be converted into a letter grade, using a scale no less generous than the one provided in Moodle.
JUSTIFIED ABSENCE
If you are justifiably absent from the final exam, you may take a make-up exam.
If you are absent from Test 1, Test 2, or the Midterm, you have two options: you may choose to do nothing, which will not affect your final grade since it is computed from the highest score.
This means the final exam could weigh more heavily in your final grade calculation.
Alternatively, you may take part of the make-up exam to compensate:
- 50% for Test 1,
- 75% for the Midterm,
- 50% for Test 2
provided you are not making up for the final exam at the same time.
You can make up for:
- The final exam,
- Test 1, Test 2, or the midterm exam,
- Test 1 and Test 2 simultaneously.
Note: In this case, Test 1 and Test 2 will not be multiple-choice questions but will consist of standard exam problems.
