What Is Linear Algebra Used For?
Algebra is hard enough to understand, and now they want you to use and understand linear algebra. What is it good for and why should you learn it? How will you be able to use it in the future? These are good questions and this should provide some of the answers. Linear algebra is typically used when making a graph, and compares the changes in a variable compared to a set time or distance or other constant. Most linear equations will for a straight line graph. As an example, this can be used to determine how far a vehicle will travel at a fixed rate of speed at various time intervals. After you plot out the graph, you can determine the unknown variable (distance) by plotting it on the graph. This can be used for a multitude of different functions and is a handy tool for lots of different real life functions. Understanding linear equations is a necessary stepping stone to understanding more complex algebra and calculus equations and graphing capabilities. And by putting the equation into
