                            A simple example with the knowns (L and V are       d  and 3, respectively) is
                                                                                dx
                            shown below, although the detour is unnecessary in this case since you know
                            how to anti-differentiate.






























                               To drive home the point that we are not studying matrices but rather lin-
                            ear functions, and that those linear functions can be represented as matrices
                            under certain notational conventions, consider how changeable the notational
                            conventions are.
