  • Linear algebra is not only applied comprehensively in the branches of mathematics such as algebra, analytics, and geometry but also utilized for finding solutions in various fields such as aeronautical engineering, electronics, biology, geology, mechanics and etc. Therefore, linear algebra should be easy and comfortable for not only mathematics majors but also for general students as well. However, most find it difficult to learn linear algebra. Why is it so? It is because many studying linear algebra fail to achieve a correct understanding or attain erroneous concepts through misleading knowledge they already have. Such cases cause learning disability and mistakes. This research suggests more effective method of teaching by analyzing difficulty and errors made in learning system of linear equations.

  • We consider the set of commuting pairs of matrices and their preservers over binary Boolean algebra, chain semiring and general Boolean algebra. We characterize those linear operators that preserve the set of commuting pairs of matrices over a general Boolean algebra and a chain semiring.

  • A projective Schur algebra associated with a partition of finite group G can be constructed explicitly by defining linear transformations of G. We will consider various linear transformations and count the number of equivalent classes in a finite group. Then we construct projective Schur algebra dimension is determined by the number of classes.

  • The maximal column rank of an m by n matrix A over max algebra is the maximal number of the columns of A which are linearly independent. We compare the maximal column rank with rank of matrices over max algebra. We also characterize the linear operators which preserve the maximal column rank of matrices over max algebra.

  • By developing a linear algebra program involving many different structures associated to a three-graded H*-algebra, it is shown that if L is a Lie triple automorphism of an infinite-dimensional topologically simple associative H*-algebra A, then L is either an automorphism, an anti-automorphism, the negative of an automorphism or the negative of an anti-automorphism. If A is finite-dimensional, then there exists an automorphism, an anti-automorphism, the negative of an automorphism or the negative of an anti-automorphism F : A $\rightarrow$ A such that $\delta$:= F - L is a linear map from A onto its center sending commutators to zero. We also describe L in the case of having A zero annihilator.

  • Let $a{\oplus}b$ = max(a, b), $a{\otimes}b$=a+b, a, $b\in\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}\;:=\cup\{-\infty\}$. In max-plus algebra we work on the linear algebra structure for the pair of operations (${\oplus},{\otimes}$) extended to matrices and vectors over $\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}$. In this paper our main aim is to reproduce the work of R. A. Cuninghame-Green [3] on the linear systems over a max-plus semi-field $\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}$.

  • For over 20 years, the issue of using an adequate CAS tool in teaching and learning of linear algebra has been raised constantly. And a variety of CAS tools were introduced in many linear algebra textbooks. In Korea, however, because of some realistic problems, they have not been introduced in the class and the theoretical aspect of linear algebra has been focused on in teaching and learning of it. In this paper, we suggest Sage as an alternative for CAS tools overcoming the problems mentioned above. And, we introduce full contents for linear algebra and matrix calculator that Sage was used to develop. Taking advantage of them, almost all the concepts of linear algebra can be easily covered and the size of matrices can be expanded without difficulty.

  • A term is called linear if each variable which occurs in the term, occurs only once. A hypersubstitution is said to be linear if it maps any operation symbol to a linear term of the same arity. Linear hypersubstitutions have some importance in Theoretical Computer Science since they preserve recognizability [7]. We show that the collection of all linear hypersubstitutions forms a monoid. Linear hypersubstitutions are used to define linear hyperidentities. The set of all linear term operations of a given algebra forms with respect to certain superposition operations a function algebra. Hypersubstitutions define endomorphisms on this function algebra.

  • In this article, we study the historical development of how the main concepts of linear algebra - matrices, vectors, and transformations - arise, are connected then integrated into a category. Also we study how linearity is recognized and integrated into algebraic and geometric viewpoint. Furthermore, we discuss, based on this, the role of linear algebra as a unifying concept in a school mathematics.
