Although they are interested in Linear Algebra not only in science and engineering but also in humanities and sociology recently, a study of teaching linear algebra is not relatively abundant because linear algebra was taken as basic course in colleges just for 20-30 years. However, after establishing The Linear Algebra Curriculum Study Group in January, 1990, a variety of attempts to improve teaching linear algebra have been emerging. This article looks into series of studies related with teaching matrix. For this the method for teaching the concepts of matrix in relation to historico-genetic principle looking through the process of the conceptual development of matrix-determinants, matrix-systems of linear equations and linear transformation.

In this paper we construct a subalgebra $L_8$ of $M_8({\mathbb{R}})$ which is a generalization of the algebra of quaternions. Moreover we prove that the algebra $L_8$ is the real Clifford algebra $Cl_3$, and so $L_8$ is a matrix representation of Clifford algebra $Cl_3$.

Today linear algebra is one of compulsory courses for university mathematics by virtue of its theoretical fundamentals and fruitful applications. Vector theory and matrix theory constitute of main topics in linear algebra. In the present paper we consider the question which of the two topics is prior in teaching of linear algebra. We suggest that vector theory should be prior to matrix theory contrary to the historical order of them.

Nagata and Higman proved that any nil-algebra of finite nilindex is nilpotent of finite index. The Nagata-Higman Theorem can be formulated in terms of T-ideals. TheT-ideal generated by $a^n$ for all $a{\in}A$ is also generated by the symmetric polynomials. The symmetric polynomials play an importmant role in analyzing nil-algebra. We construct the incidence matrix with the symmetric polynomials. Using this incidence matrix, we determine the nilpotency index of nil-algebra of nil-index 3.

The odd spherical non-commutative tori $\mathbb{S}_{\omega}$ were defined in [2]. Assume that no non-trivial matrix algebra can be factored out of $\mathbb{S}_{\omega}$, and that the fibres are isomorphic to the tensor product of a completely irrational non-commutative torus with a matrix algebra $M_{km}(\mathbb{C})$. It is shown that the tensor product of $\mathbb{S}_{\omega}$ with the even Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_{2d}$ has the trivial bundle structure if and, only if km and 2d - 1 are relatively prime, and that the tensor product of $\mathbb{S}_{\omega}$ with the generalized Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\infty}$ has a non-trivial bundle structure when km > 1.

The Lie algebra of type $F_4$ has the 26 dimensional representation. Its matrix realization can be obtained via 26 by 26 matrices and has a direct useful application to degenerate principal series for p-adic groups of type $F_4$.

The level-m scaled circulant factor matrix over the complex number field is introduced. Its diagonalization and spectral decomposition and representation are discussed. An explicit formula for the entries of the inverse of a level-m scaled circulant factor matrix is presented. Finally, an algorithm for finding the inverse of such matrices over the quaternion division algebra is given.

In this paper, we present new vector generators of a matrix subalgebra $L_{0,n}$, which is isomorphic to the Clifford algebra $C{\ell}_{0,n}$, and we obtain the matrix form of inverse of a vector in $L_{0,n}$. Moreover, we consider the solution of a linear equation $xg_2=g_2x$, where $g_2$ is a vector generator of $L_{0,n}$.

Let (B, m$_{B}$, k) be a maximal commutative $textsc{k}$-subalgebra of M$_{m}$(k). Then, for some element z $\in$ Soc(B), a k-algebra R = B［X,Y］/I, where I ＝ (m$_{B}$X, m$_{B}$Y, X$^2$- z,Y$^2$- z, XY) will create an interesting maximal commutative $textsc{k}$-subalgebra of a matrix algebra which is neither a $C_1$-construction nor a $C_2$-construction. This construction will also be useful to embed a maximal commutative $textsc{k}$-subalgebra of matrix algebra to a maximal commutative $textsc{k}$-subalgebra of a larger size matrix algebra.gebra.a.

The incidence matrices corresponding to a nil-algebra of finite index % can be used to determine the nilpotency. We find the smallest positive integer n such that the sum of the incidence matrices Σ$\_$p/$\^$p/ is invertible. In this paper, we give a different proof of the case that the nil-algebra of index 2 has nilpotency less than or equal to 4.
