Linear algebra is cool, no doubt. This blog post is certainly well written and explains how to think of matrices as functions.

I have written a blog post[1] that describes matrices as functions. This blog post is titled "Correcting common mathematical misconceptions" and walks through N dimensions, linear functions and linear algebra. After explaining what linear functions are, I mentioned nonlinear functions and how they often don't have a closed form solution and why mathematicians find bounds.
