students.Brief History Figure 1. The History of Linear AlgebraIn the 1960s (Figure 1), a group of mathematicians, notably associated with the Bourbaki Schoolsuch as J. Dieudonné and S. Lang, advocated for a significant overhaul in mathematicseducation, labeling it "Modern Mathematics." They believed that what students learned shouldmatch how mathematicians were logically constructing math at the time. Consequently, LinearAlgebra became a highly abstract and formalized subject. Aspects like Analytic Geometry andMatrix Calculus were largely overlooked in favor of emphasizing complex mathematicalstructures. The focus shifted away from intuition towards a more rigorous exploration of thesestructures, making Linear Algebra a

We argue that the pandemic impacted student math readiness, which‬ ‭subsequently impacted their transition to the university and into engineering, as illustrated in‬ ‭Figure 1.‬‭ igure 1‬F‭Relationship between Pandemic, Math Readiness, and Transition to University/Engineering‬‭ . COVID-19’s Effect on Education‬A‭The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the education system, and many‬ ‭students struggled. Due to school and home life disruptions during the pandemic, students‬ ‭reported difficulty completing their schoolwork. Specifically, female and underrepresented‬ ‭minority (URM) students reported having more difficulty completing schoolwork‬‭[9]‬‭. With‬ ‭varying restrictions across states and school
