The same is true for quantum field theory. I'm curious why you're so confident that they are "in fact both linear algebra"

- hither_shores 4y agoThey also involve addition, but that doesn't make them arithmetic. Knowing linear algebra gets you perhaps 10% of the way to having the math background for a first course in GR.
