You should have attended at least the following courses:
  • Analysis 1
  • Linear Algebra 1

The following courses are recommended but less important:

  • Analysis 2
  • Introduction to Numerics

You can of course still join the seminar if you are missing one of the latter courses, but we recommend that you attend the courses in parallel then.

  • discuss the schedule.

Topics

The topics will be the chapters of the book Horn, Roger A., and Charles R. Johnson. Matrix analysis. Cambridge university press, 2012. Each speaker pair will choose one chapter and present parts of this chapter.

The password will be shared in the information email for the kick-off meeting and in the kick-off meeting.

The relevant chapters are:

  • Canonical Forms for Similarity and Triangular Factorizations
  • Hermitian Matrices, Symmetric Matrices, and Congruences
  • Norms for Vectors and Matrices
  • Location and Perturbation of Eigenvalues
  • Positive Definite and Semidefinite Matrices
  • Positive and Nonnegative Matrices

Goal of the Seminar

Teach your fellow students your topic in an understandable yet professional way!
