Here is a short list of applications of linear algebra:
- Balancing chemical equations
- Input–output models in economics
- Electric circuits
- Graphs
- Least squares approximate solutions
- Computer graphics
- Cryptography
- Error-correcting codes
- Fourier analysis
You can read about these in Chapter 7 of my book in LA. Here is an extended preview of it here: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview.pdf#page=91 https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview....
