In this chapter, we study the topics in linear algebra that will be needed in the rest of the book. We begin by discussing the building blocks of linear algebra: matrices and vectors. Then we use our knowledge of matrices and vectors to develop a systematic procedure (the Gauss– Jordan method) for solving linear equations, which we then use to invert matrices. We close the chapter with an introduction to determinants. The material covered in this chapter will be used in our study of linear and nonlinear programming.  ▼

The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a group of four violin concerti by Italian composer  Vivaldi" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vivaldi">Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives musical expression to a season of the year. They were written around 1716–1717 and published in 1725 in Amsterdam, together with eight additional concerti, as Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Contest Between Harmony and Invention).  ▼

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML.[1] CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript.[2] CSS is designed to enable the separation of presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts.[3] This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate .css file which reduces complexity and repetition in the structural content as well as enabling the .css file to be cached to improve the page load speed between the pages that share the file and its formatting.  ▼

La Girafe (Giraffa camelopardalis) est une espèce de mammifères ongulés artiodactyles, du groupe des ruminants, vivant dans les  title="Savane" href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savane">savanes africaines et répandue du Tchad jusqu'en Afrique du Sud. Son nom commun vient de l'arabe زرافة, zarāfah, mais l'animal fut anciennement appelé camélopard, du latin camelopardus1, contraction de camelus (chameau) en raison du long cou et de pardus (léopard) en raison des taches recouvrant son corps. Après des millions d'années d'évolution, la girafe a acquis une anatomie unique avec un cou particulièrement allongé qui lui permet notamment de brouter haut dans les arbres.  ▼

In the programs seen in previous chapters, all memory needs were determined before program execution by defining the variables needed. But there may be cases where the memory needs of a program can only be determined during runtime. For example, when the memory needed depends on user input. On these cases, programs need to dynamically allocate memory, for which the C++ language integrates the operators new and delete.  ▼

The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is a language for describing multiparticipant interactive simulations -- virtual worlds networked via the global Internet and hyperlinked with the World Wide Web. All aspects of virtual world display, interaction and internetworking can be specified using VRML. It is the intention of its designers that VRML become the standard language for interactive simulation within the World Wide Web.  ▼
