'''Linear algebra''' is the branch of [[mathematics]] concerned with the study of [[Euclidean vector|vector]]s, [[vector space]]s (also called ''linear spaces''), [[linear map]]s (also called ''linear transformations''), and [[system of linear equations|systems of linear equations]]. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern [[mathematics]]; thus, linear [[algebra]] is widely used in both [[abstract algebra]] and [[functional analysis]]. Linear algebra also has a concrete representation in [[analytic geometry]] and it is generalized in [[operator theory]]. It has extensive applications in the [[natural science]]s and the [[social sciences]], since nonlinear models can often be approximated by linear ones.
