Linear algebra is the mathematical subject that studies vectors, vector spaces, linear maps, and systems of linear equations. Branches of Linear algebra typically include Linear equations, Matrices, Matrix decompositions, Computations, Vectors, Vector spaces, Multilinear algebra, Affine space, Projective space.[1] Linear algebra has numerous applications in engineering, chemistry and physics.
Basic Concepts
- coefficient matrices and Gauss-Jordan elimination
