Linear algebra can bring algebraic and geometric thinking together in ways that reinforce both. Participants will sample activities from a new, NSF-funded high school course that explores vector algebra and how matrices can represent transformations in a way that introduces computer graphics and animation. The only background required is second-year algebra.
