The aim of the course:
To introduce some of the main ideas of four dimensional Lorentz space, to reinforce their elementary calculus and basic linear algebra knowledge giving a good opportunity to exhibit their interplay through application to geometry.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : have some information about Lorentz space
PO - 2 : learn groups associated with Lorentz space
PO - 3 : learn equivalence problems of vectors and system of its invariants
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
