什么是线性代数（What is linear algebra） Linear algebra is a major branch of advanced algebra. We know that once an equation is called a linear equation, and an algebra that deals with linear equations and linear operations is called linear algebra. In linear algebra, the most important thing is determinant and matrix. Its research objects are vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations and finite dimensional systems of linear equations. Vector space is an important subject in modern mathematics. Therefore, linear algebra is widely used in abstract algebra and functional analysis. Linear algebra can be expressed concretely by analytic geometry. The theory of linear algebra has been generalized to operator theory. Since nonlinear models in scientific research can often be approximated as linear models, linear algebra has been widely applied to natural and social sciences. The concept of vector, from a mathematical point of view is only three yuan ordered a set of array, however it as a direct physical meaning to force or speed, and it can immediately write mathematical physics said. For vector gradient, divergence, curl is more convincing. Similarly, the determinant and matrix such as derivative as (although dy/dx in mathematics is just a symbol, including delta y/ delta x limit the length of the formula, but the derivative itself is a powerful concept, can make us direct and creative imagination on physical events). Therefore, although the determinant and the matrix are merely a language or shorthand, most of their vivid concepts provide keys to new ideas. It has been proved, however, that these two concepts are highly useful tools in mathematics and physics. Linear algebra basically appeared in seventeenth Century. Until the late eighteenth Century, the field of linear algebra was confined to planes and spaces. The first half of nineteenth Century to complete the transition matrix to the n-dimensional vector space theory begins with Kailai in the secon
