2. Matrices: Operations with matrices, vector space of matrices, ring of square matrices. 3. Determinants: Definition, calculation of determinants. 4. Vector spaces: Subspace, subspace generated by a set, basis, dimension. 5. Systems of equations: Homogeneous and nonhomogeneous systems and their solutions, the Frobenius theorem, Gauss elimination, the Cramer rule. 6. Homomorphisms and isomorphisms of vector spaces: Arithmetical vector spaces and their importance for description of vector spaces, coordinates of vectors according to a given basis, transformation of coordinates as consequense of change of basis, matrix of transformation, matrix of endomorphism. 8. Ring of polynomials and its properties: Functional and algebraic definition from the structural point of view. 9. Divisibility of polynomials over a general field: Properties of the structure (T x , +, ) concerning divisibility. 10. Properties of polynomial roots: Root of a polynomial, multiplicity of the root, the Bezout theorem, the Horner scheme, derivative of a polynomial and its application, the Basic Theorem of Algebra, decomposition of polynomials to product of irreducible ones over Q, R and C, the Viéte theorem, methods of root solving of polynomials. 11. Algebraic solvability of algebraic equations: Extension of fields using radicals, algebraic solvability of algebraic equations with respect to degree. 12. Quadratics and bilinear forms. 13.
