20410340 - GE210 - Geometry and linear algebra 2

Acquire a good knowledge of the theory of bilinear forms and their geometric applications. An important application will be the study of Euclidean geometry, mainly in the plane and in the space, and the Euclidean classification of the conics and of the quadratic surfaces.
