Abstract

The notion of linear dependence of vectors is one of the contents of the Linear Algebra syllabus introduced in the first university year in Portugal. It is well known that the students find this notion difficult. In this paper we present some reasons that justify those difficulties through the identification of some disconnections between the notion of colinearidade taught at secondary school and the notion of linear dependence of vectors in first university year. We classify those disconnections in: historic sequence, symbolic and approach.
