Linear Algebra, Lesson 20: Finding a Coordinate in a Non-Standard Basis

Math skill: Solve for a Single Coefficient c₁ Using the Inverse-Matrix Method

How the beat teaches it: Every slot reuses the basis v₁=(3,1), v₂=(5,2) and A⁻¹=[[2,-5],[-1,3]] — find just c₁, the coordinate along v₁, for a new target vector. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 20 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Linear Algebra, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, The Trace of A² From Its Eigenvalues,” covered compute p² + q² From Two Eigenvalues. Next is Lesson 21, 2x2 Matrix Multiplication.”

Every slot above (A, B, C, D) is its own question, and it’s a real, blank RockBlocks beat the whole time — the same drag-and-drop tiles, kit, tempo, sheet music, and drummer view as anywhere else on the site. Tap ❓ Questionin the corner to read the current slot’s problem, build your answer right in the grid, then tap ✓ Check Answerto grade it. Once you’re done, keep going: expand the beat, drop it into a Stack, or save a copy to your own page — nothing here overwrites the lesson itself, so every visitor still starts from the same blank slots.
