Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Discuss and derive properties of objects in n-dimensional space.
2. Calculate various geometrical quantities (e.g. angles, parametric representations, shortest distance to a subspace).
3. Discuss and derive further properties of objects in two and three dimensional space (e.g., given a surface and a point on it find the tangent plane at that point).
