Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that discusses linear equations using vector spaces. Linear algebra is used heavily in quantum computing and can be considered as the main language for quantum computing. Just like trigonometry and complex numbers, which were introduced to you in previous appendixes, linear algebra is equally as important and can be helpful to fully understand the world of quantum computing.

The goal of this appendix is to teach you the foundation of introductory linear algebra, which will aide you during your adventure into quantum ...
