First item (at least on my google) is an article starting:

Linear algebra describes things in two dimensions ....

If however we ask for numerical linear algebra then the first(wikipedia) entry gives

Numerical linear algebra is the study of algorithms for performinglinear algebra computations, most notably matrix operations, oncomputers. It is often a fundamental part of engineering andcomputational science problems, such as image and signalprocessing, telecommunication, computational finance, materialsscience simulations, structural biology, data mining, ....

A google search on applied linear algebra has a bizarre jumble atthe top of the page but does have this conference as fourth in thelist.

So on to the origins of the SIAG on Linear Algebra and conferenceseries on Applied Linear Algebra.
