Linear Equations

Linear equations are equations that can be written in the form ax + b = 0. Here are some common types of linear equations:

  • One Variable Linear Equation
    • ax + b = 0
  • Two Variable Linear Equation
    • ax + by + c = 0
  • Three Variable Linear Equation
    • ax + by + cz + d = 0

Matrices

Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers. They are widely used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and computer science.

Types of Matrices

  • Square Matrix
    • A matrix with the same number of rows and columns.
  • Rectangular Matrix
    • A matrix with a different number of rows and columns.
  • Diagonal Matrix
    • A square matrix with all the non-diagonal elements equal to zero.

Matrix Operations

  • Matrix Addition
    • The sum of two matrices.
  • Matrix Multiplication
    • The product of two matrices.
  • Matrix Inverse
    • The inverse of a matrix, if it exists.

Vectors

Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. They are represented by arrows in coordinate systems.

Types of Vectors

  • Zero Vector
    • A vector with a magnitude of zero.
  • Unit Vector
    • A vector with a magnitude of one.
  • Parallel Vector
    • Vectors that have the same direction.

Linear Transformations

Linear transformations are functions that preserve linear structure. They are widely used in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Types of Linear Transformations

  • Rotation
    • A transformation that rotates vectors around a fixed point.
  • Translation
    • A transformation that moves vectors in a fixed direction.
  • Scaling
    • A transformation that scales vectors by a factor.
