Engineering mathematics — Linear Algebra + 4 more topics

Linear algebra primarily deals with vectors and matrices.

A vector is essentially an ordered list of numbers. You can think of it as a point in space, or an arrow pointing from the origin to that point. In engineering, vectors often represent quantities like forces, velocities, or even parameters of a system.

• Column Vector: $\begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ \vdots \\ x_n \end{pmatrix}$
• Row Vector: $\begin{pmatrix} x_1 & x_2 & \dots & x_n \end{pmatrix}$
