NounWikipedia has an article on: Algebra over a field
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (also called linear spaces), linear maps (also called linear transformations), and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern mathematics; thus, linear algebra is widely used in both abstract algebra and functional analysis. Linear algebra also has a concrete representation in analytic geometry and it is generalized in operator theory. It has extensive applications in the natural sciences and the social sciences, since nonlinear models can often be approximated by linear ones. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How hard is linear algebra? Q. I am considering taking linear algebra at the University of California Irvine during summer school, linear algebra is known there as Math 2j. I want to know if its doable during a 5 week course period. I gotten an A in Calculus 1 and 3 and a B in calculus 2. I just want to know if I am going to be able to handle it over summer?

Soo soo easy, especially after calc Answered by Eddie KI6WTX - Thu May 28 19:16:38 2009 Do people take differential equations and linear algebra at the same time? Q. At my school the requirements for some programs require these two classes, which are 3 credits each. The calculus series has 3 classes and are 5 credits each. I'm wondering if people normally take them both at the same time after finishing calculus or if it's best to take them one at a time. Asked by 8 - Thu Apr 17 01:27:33 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are some schools that combine the two courses. For example UC Berkeley has a combined course for differential equations and linear algebra. But I recommend that you take them separately unless it is combined in one class (Like UC Berkeley) But for example if it is two separate classes as they were at my school I recommend that you take them separately specially because both have a lot of theory involved which most students are not use to or prepared for. Linear algebra starts off easy matter fact it starts off with just algebra doing matrices and solving linear equations but half way through the course it gets very tough because it jumps into theory. I remember I was going to take Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and… [cont.] Answered by ..::PaRtaP::.. - Thu Apr 17 01:38:48 2008 What's the difference between vector calculus and linear algebra?
Q. What's the difference between vector calculus and linear algebra? Asked by S - Wed May 7 02:05:38 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. In linear algebra, you study vectors and matrices, systems of linear equations, and some other stuff (vector spaces, linear transformations, bilinear forms). But you don't study derivatives, integrals, or limits. In vector calculus, you do derivatives, integrals, and limits, generalizing the "first-year" calculus facts for curves, surfaces, and functions that live in three or more dimensions. Both are really, really fun.
