This course on Linear Algebra is meant for first year undergraduates or college students. It presents the subject in a visual geometric way, with special orientation to applications and understanding of key concepts. The subject naturally sits inside affine algebraic geometry. Flexibility in choosing coordinate frameworks is essential for understanding the subject. Determinants also play an important role, and these are introduced in the context of multi-vectors in the sense of Grassmann. NJ Wildberger is also the developer of Rational Trigonometry: a new and better way of learning and using trigonometry.

The main problem of Linear Algebra is how to invert a linear change of coordinates. We solve this problem here in the important special case of
a linear change between x1,x2,x3 variables and y1,y2,y3 variables. The solution involves the 3x3 determinant. As an application, we learn how to invert a 3x3 matrix.
