	Ancient Scripts: Linear A
		As time goes on, it appears that the linear hieroglyphic system evolved into Linear A. Linear A has roughly 90 symbols, thus most likely a syllabary much like Linear B.
		However, Linear A has resisted all attempts at decipherment because its underlying language is still unknown and probably will remain obscure since it doesn't seem to relate to any other surviving language in Europe or Western Asia.
		Linear B and Cypriot both exhibit considerable similarity to Linear A. Because of its time depth, Linear A appears to be the immediate ancestor to both of these writing systems.

	Linear A script
		Linear A, also undeciphered, is thought to have evolved from the hieroglyphic script, and Linear B probably evolved from Linear A, though the relationship between the two scripts is unclear.
		Linear A is mixed script consisting of 60 phonetic symbols representing syllables and 60 sematographic symbols representing sounds and concrete objects or abstract ideas.
		Linear A was written in horizontal lines running from left to right on clay tablets which were probably used for keeping records of transactions.

		Linear A is an undeciphered script used in ancient Crete.
		While the related writing named Linear B was deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris as representing an ancient form of Greek, Linear A remained unsolved.
		Though the two scripts share many of the same symbols, using the syllables associated with Linear B in Linear A writings produces words that are unrelated to any known language.

	Linear B syllabary - the ancient script of Crete
		He realised that the inscriptions represented three different writing systems: a 'hieroglyphic' script, Linear A and Linear B. The hieroglphic script appears only on seal stones and has yet to be deciphered.
		Evans also discovered a number of parallels between the Cypriot script, which had been deciphered, and Linear B. This indicated that the language represented by Linear B was an ancient form of Greek, but he wasn't prepared to accept this, being convinced that Linear B was used to write Minoan, a language unrelated to Greek.
		Linear B was used between about 1500 and 1200 BC to write a form of Greek known as Mycenaean, named after Mycenae, where Agamemnon is said to have ruled.

		The Linear A writing depicted on the disc has yet to be deciphered, although its successor, Linear B was deciphered and found to be a form of early Greek.
		Linear A was used solely by the Minoan people, and many scholars believe that when it is deciphered, it will provide clues needed to solidify the theory of the origin of the Minoan people.
		The Linear A Linear script of the Phaestos disc was replaced around 1380 by Linear B, and many clay tablets of it have been found.

	Linear A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linear A is an undeciphered script used in ancient Crete.
		A related script, Linear B, was deciphered in the 1950s by Michael Ventris as representing an ancient form of Greek.
		Around the same time, M. Tsikritsis, a Greek computer scientist and a text analysis specialist used a statistical and machine comparison of Linear A and Linear B symbols to conclude that Linear A was an early aeolic dialect of Greek, and essentially a form of Linear B with a variety of archaisms.

	Linear equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A linear equation is an equation involving only the sum of constants or products of constants and the first power of a variable.
		Because of the linear property above, the solutions of linear equations of this kind can in general be described as a superposition of other solutions of the same equation.
		While they arise quite naturally when modeling many phenomena, they are particularly useful since many non-linear equations may be reduced to linear equations by assuming that quantities of interest vary to only a small extent from some "background" state.
