Looking at Transformations, Again The goal for today is to be able to write matrices that represent transformations. You will have to suffer through a presentation on this. I have, below, a list of articles that you might consider as bases for the presentations. Of course, you are not limited to these.
Linear algebra is a wide field with many applications.
You can pick either an application of or topic in linear algebra for further study. Linear Algebra has found use in Data compression and retrieval. Fourier Series is a common way of writing a function in terms of an orthonormal basis, just as we used orthogonal polynomials in class. A new, hot topic in orthognonal functions is Wavelets. The problem of manipulating a matrix once it has been determined is a sticky one.
