Goal:
Understanding vectors and fundamental vector and matrix algebra, including
projections, rotations, reflections etc. Further, linear systems of equations
and a first taste of the important concepts linear dependence/independence
of vectors, and basis.
Understanding the fundamentals of complex numbers and their
arithmetic, and the basic fact that any n'th degree polynomial equation has
exactly n roots.
