First-Order Matrix Algebra
Physics has given me a thorough understanding of the usage of Linear Algebra as it applies to computers, solving systems of differential equations, and finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues in physical situations. I have helped multiple students in Linear Algebra and can show some of the best approaches to manipulating matrices and utilizing their properties.
