One reason why linear algebra is very useful is that linear transforms of normal variables are normal. If x ~ N(a, A), then Bx+b ~ N(Ba+b, BABT). In a way, when everything is linear and normal, everything is nice and analytically tractable.
AbstractâThis document will review the fundamental ideas of linear algebra. We will learn about matrices, matrix operations, linear transformations and. discuss both the theoretical and computational aspects of linear algebra. The. tools of linear algebra open the gateway to the study of more advanced. mathematics. A lot of knowledge buzz awaits you if you choose to follow the. path of understanding, instead of trying to memorize a bunch of formulas.
