In mathematics, a linear algebraic group is a subgroup of the group of invertible n×n matrices (under matrix multiplication) that is defined by polynomial equations.
The first basic theorem of the subject is that any affine algebraic group is a linear algebraic group: that is, any affine variety V that has an algebraic group law has a faithful linear representation, over the same field.

 Algebraic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In algebraic geometry, an algebraic group (or group variety) is a group that is an algebraic variety, such that the multiplication and inverse are given by regular functions on the variety.
Two important classes of algebraic groups arise, that for the most part are studied separately: abelian varieties (the 'projective' theory) and linear algebraic groups (the 'affine' theory).
Note that this means that algebraic group is narrower than Lie group, when working over the field of real numbers: there are examples such as the universal cover of the 2×2 special linear group that are Lie groups, but have no faithful linear representation.

Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concernedwith the study of vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations.
Linear algebra had its beginnings in the study of vectors in Cartesian 2-space and 3-space.
Linear operators take elementsfrom a linear space to another (or to itself), in a manner that is compatible with the addition and scalar multiplication givenon the vector space(s).

 Student understanding of topics in linear algebra
The increasing demand for student understanding of linear algebra and the growing concern that the present linear algebra course does not adequately meet the needs of the students it serves, prompts further study and curriculum development.
The first course in linear algebra is a service course for a wide variety of disciplines such as computer science, electrical engineering, other engineering fields such as aerospace engineering and systems engineering, physics, economics, statistics, and operations research.
After taking the linear algebra course, students often come away knowing how to perform certain algorithms but they have not acquired the intuition relating knowledge of the mathematics to selection of the method for analysis, design, and control of physical systems (Wang 237).

In mathematics, a linear algebraic group is a subgroup of the group of invertible n×n matrices (under matrix multiplication) that is defined by polynomial equations.
Such groups were known for a long time before their abstract algebraic theory was developed according to the needs of major applications.
The first basic theorem of the subject is that any affine algebraic group is a linear algebraic group: that is, any affine variety V that has an algebraic group law has a faithful linear representation, over the same field.

Differential algebra} \vskip.1in The notion of the Galois group of a linear ordinary differential equation or a holonomic system of such equations is well known.
The Galois group $G$ of the system is, by definition, the group of all automorphisms $g$ of the field $L$ such that $g$ fixes all elements of $F$ and $[g,d/dz]=0$.
This theory allows to prove that certain linear differential equations of second and higher order cannot be reduced to a sequence of first order equations, by showing that their Galois groups are not solvable.

A Picard-Vessiot extension of a linear ODE is the differential algebraic analogue of the splitting field of a polynomial in ordinary Galois theory.
We offer a formulation of linear ordinary differential equations midway between what one encounters in a first undergraduate ODE course and what one encounteres in a graduate Differential Geometry course (in the latter instance under the heading of "connections").

In this paper, we construct homology groups Hi(X, G), where G is an algebraic group and X is a variety, by considering cycles on the simplicial scheme BG x X, an idea first suggested by Andrei Suslin.
Hi(X, G; A), whose source is the usual group homology of the discrete group G(R) of R-points of the algebraic group G. Moreover, this map is an isomorphism if R = k and k is algebraically closed, so that these groups capture the homology of the discrete group G(k).
HOMOLOGY OF LINEAR GROUPS 7 Proof.The abelian group H1(Spec (R), Gm ; Z) is generated by classes of non- zero complex numbers, [z] for z 2 Cx, modulo the relations [z] = [__z] and [zw] = [z] + [w], for all z, w 2 Cx.

Let C be the subfield of constants of k, n be the order of L, and consider the Picard-Vessiot extensions k' of k associated with L, i.e., the differential field extensions of k that contain an n-dimensional C-vector space of solutions of L and do not enlarge the constant field C.
Then the differential Galois group of L is defined as the group G of differential field automorphisms (i.e., field automorphisms that respect the differential structure) of any Picard-Vessiot extension k' that additionally respect the action of k on k'.

Algebraic groups are the algebraic geometry analogue of Lie groups.
The topological and Lie-algebra arguments used in the development of Lie groups must be replaced by global algebra-geometric arguments, but amazingly, the resulting classification of simple linear algebraic groups is exactly the same as the classification of simple Lie groups.
There are three standard texts for this course, each called "Linear Algebraic Groups", one by Borel, one by Humphreys and one by Springer.

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k; assume that Char k is zero or good for G. Let \cB be the variety of Borel subgroups of G and let e in Lie G be nilpotent.
We prove analogues for reductive algebraic groups of some results for finite groups due to Knoerr and Robinson which play a central role in their reformulation of Alperin's conjecture for finite groups.

With each linear differential equation, Picard associated its Galois group, which is a Lie group (and, moreover, a linear algebraic group).
Picard and Vessiot showed that this particular group is responsible for the solvability of equations by quadratures.
In particular, he showed that the general algebraic equation of degree at least 5 is unsolvable by radicals exactly for topological reasons.

We now move to differential algebraic geometry, which Alexandru Buium, in his book, Differential algebra and Diophantine Geometry, calls a "new geometry", and, to differential algebraic groups, the group objects of the new geometry.
In the affine case, the objects of differential algebraic geometry are the sets of zeros of differential polynomial ideals.
The group of an equation will be defined, the type of information about solutions provided by the group will be illustrated, and methods of calculation will be indicated.

The automorphism group of a linear error-correcting code and more campanology and the theory of the Rubik's cube are discussed as applications.

Given a characteristic zero field and a dominant morphism of linear algebraic groups with a commutative target one can form a functor from commutative algebras to abelian groups.
The functor takes an algebra to the group of points of the target group modulo the group of points of the sourse.
