Hopefully, a student will nish the course with a good working knowledge of \vectors and matrices but also with an appreciation of the structure and beauty of the subject of linear algebra. A matrix is basically an organized box or array of numbers or other expressions. One way to think about it is to consider these vectors, p1p2, p1p3, and p1p. The question of whether they are all in the same plane is the same as asking ourselves whether the parallelepiped that they form is actually completely flattened.
