	Linear algebra from 8th grade is different from the college level 
linear algebra - it generally deals with the specific case of two 
dimensional space.  A college linear algebra course will deal with Ax = b 
in n dimensional space.  A is a matrix, and x and b are called vectors, 
which are really (at least in this context) simply a n x 1 matrices. 
(Note that in matrices mxn means m rows and n columns reverse of normal 
x, y convention)
