Linear algebra and its importance

Algebra as that branch of mathematics that deals with the study of vectors,
vector spaces and linear equations. Modern mathematics also relies upon
linear transformations and systems of vector matrix.
Linear Algebra is of great importance in Physics
Linear algebra provides you understanding of properties of physical systems,
for e.g., finding the eigenvalues or "natural frequencies" of systems.
Linear algebra provides the background theory for development of solution
methods to problems governed by PDEs, for e.g. finite differences, finite
elements, etc.
Linear Algebra is indeed important for vector analysis and matrices

The results of linear algebra have found application in such diverse fields as
optics, quantum mechanics, display addressing, electric circuits, cryptography,
computer graphics, economics, linear programming, solution of systems of
differential equations, etc. The manipulation of matrices and determinants
plays a central role in all applications of linear algebra.


Linear Algebra is a great importance in computer science
graphics programming
graph theory (social graphs for example)
singular value decomposition for recommendation systems (PageRank,
Netflix recommendations, collaborative filtering)
data clustering and classification
pattern recognition
various forms of artificial intelligence
Importance of linear algebra in Mathematics
Mathematics has a broad range of functions to support linear algebra
operations and to integrate them into the system. It can work with vectors,
matrices, and tensors that can contain machine-precision floating-point
numbers, arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers, complex floating-
point numbers, integers, rational numbers, and general symbolic
quantities. Linear algebra operations are supported for matrices that
contain all these different types of entry.
Importance of linear algebra in computer software
Different software are used to solve the linear algebra equations
e.g. (Mat Lab)
