Answer:

Linear algebra is flat differential geometry and serves in tangent spaces to manifolds.

Explanation:

Linear algebra is the study of lines and planes, vector spaces and mappings that are required for linear transforms. It is a relatively young field of study, having initially been formalized in the 1800s in order to find unknowns in systems of linear equations.

Combined with calculus, linear algebra facilitates the solution of linear systems of differential equations. Techniques from linear algebra are also used in analytic geometry, engineering, physics, natural sciences, computer science, computer animation, and the social sciences (particularly in economics).
