Linear Algebra
Go beyond single matrices. Combine vectors to reach any point, chain transformations together, undo them to solve systems of equations, and find the special directions a matrix only stretches, which explain population models, Fibonacci numbers and Google's PageRank. Then fit data with least squares and compress images with the singular value decomposition.
