WildLinAlg: A first course in Linear Algebra

Education


We continue discussing 2x2 matrices, their interpretation as linear transformations of the plane, how to analyse rotations, including a rational formulation, and how to combine rotations and reflections. Finally we discuss the connections with calculus, introducing the idea that the derivative is really a linear transformation.
