  1. linear algebra

    Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that involves the study of vectors and certain rules for manipulating them. This includes concepts such as vector spaces (also known as linear spaces), linear transformations, systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Linear algebra is a foundational field used in many areas of mathematics, physics, engineering, machine learning and computer science.

  1. Linear algebra

    Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning vector spaces, often finite or countably infinite dimensional, as well as linear mappings between such spaces. Such an investigation is initially motivated by a system of linear equations in several unknowns. Such equations are naturally represented using the formalism of matrices and vectors. Linear algebra is central to both pure and applied mathematics. For instance, abstract algebra arises by relaxing the axioms of a vector space, leading to a number of generalizations. Functional analysis studies the infinite-dimensional version of the theory of vector spaces. Combined with calculus, linear algebra facilitates the solution of linear systems of differential equations. Techniques from linear algebra are also used in analytic geometry, engineering, physics, natural sciences, computer science, computer animation, and the social sciences. Because linear algebra is such a well-developed theory, nonlinear mathematical models are sometimes approximated by linear ones.
