I have heard that Linear algebra and especially matrices are a vital part of a computers function. And even that broken down to the core the vital parts of the computer are just things that can calculate matrix/Linear Algebra matrices really really fast. I also know that Linear Algebra is a man made mathematics system. So does anyone that knows a lot about this fill me in on Linear Algebras role in all this?
 
I'll plead ignorance on this one. I know what matrices and linear algebra is, and once in a blue moon I'll use a determinant (e.g. celestial navigation, electronic equation, etc). When I use computers to solve such things, I merely expand out on the formula and definition of one, specifically in the case of a spread sheet a matix or determinant can physically be laid out the way the eye would see it, and then the calculation of it spit out in another cell. However, I have a feeling you're talking down to the machine language level.

I have been learning more about computers lately. As well as installing Linux and learning c++, While in the "in-depth" level that i have been learning this stuff I havent arrived at Matrices yet. But If i remember right they are important for CPU ops
