What is algebra in linear algebra?
Keeping this in view, what is the difference between algebra and linear algebra?
Linear Algebra is the study of vector spaces and linear mappings between those spaces. Linear Algebra is the study of vector spaces and linear mappings between those spaces. Abstract Algebra deals with various abstract structures such as groups, rings and fields.
Also to know is, what level of math is linear algebra?
I live in the U.S., and both my undergrad and grad school are in the U.S. At my undergrad University, the prereq for linear algebra is calculus 1. And, linear algebra is a prereq to the math reasoning class, also known as intro to proofs. And, that class is the prereq to 75% of all the upper level math classes.
The pure mechanics of linear algebra are very basic--far easier than anything of substance in calculus. The difficulty is that linear algebra is mostly about understanding terms and definitions, and determining which calculation is needed to arrive at the intended answer.
