# Computational Mechanics 4 - Linear Algebra
Welcome to Computational Mechanics Module #4! In this module we will explore
applied linear algebra for engineering problems and revisit the topic of linear
regression with a new toolbox of linear algebra. Our main goal, is to transform
large systems of equations into manageable engineering solutions.
