Nvidia exists because linear algebra is essential for 3D graphics. They got a second boost from crypto-currency, which isn't strictly about linear algebra but it can put those computation units to good use. Now Nvidia is riding high again because neural nets are all about linear algebra, and LLMs are big neural nets.
