  PlanetMath: linear algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics devoted to the theory of linear structure.
From the geometric point of view, ``linear'' is synonymous with ``straight'', and consequently linear algebra can be regarded as the branch of mathematics dealing with lines and planes, as well as with transformations of space that preserve ``straightness'', e.g.
Linearity is a very basic notion, and consequently linear algebra has applications in numerous areas of mathematics, science, and engineering.
