Course Description:

Many students encounter matrices somewhere over the course of their algebra 2 or precalculus classes. Unfortunately, these encounters are often brief, have little context, and emphasize rote use of techniques.

Linear algebra is heavily used in many fields, including statistics, cryptography, economics and throughout the sciences. We will delve into the basic theory behind these techniques and examine their real-world applications.
