This is the full first lecture of a course on Linear Algebra. Given by N J Wildberger of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW, the course gives a more geometric and natural approach to this important subject, with lots of interesting applications. Our orientation is that Linear Algebra is really ``Linear Algebraic Geometry'': so teaching the algebra without the geometry is depriving the student of the heart of the subject.
The first lecture discusses the affine grid plane and introduces vectors, along with the number one problem of linear algebra: how to invert a linear change of coordinates!
Intended audience: first year college or undergraduate students, motivated high school students, high school teachers, general public interested in mathematics. Enjoy!

WildLinAlg: A geometric course in Linear Algebra
This course by N J Wildberger presents a geometrical view to Linear Algebra, with a focus on applications. We look at vectors, matrices, determinants, change of bases, row reduction, lines and planes, polynomial spaces, bases and coordinate vectors, and much more!
We are aiming for a careful exposition with an orientation on conceptual understanding, applications, and explicit examples. There are quite a few problems to challenge the viewer. It is perfectly possible to learn Linear Algebra from scratch with this course. I suggest to go through the series at about one a week, keep notes, and do all the problems.
