Abstract
Linear algebra and tensor algebra are inextricably linked. The mechanics of these subjects are similar: linear combinations dominate calculations and change of coordinates (referred to as change of basis in linear algebra) is of primary interest. Some ideas are best expressed with matrix notation while others are best expressed with tensors. Matrix notation is more effective at expressing the overall algebraic structure of a calculation.
