Are there any real life applications of the rank of a matrix? It need to have a real impact which motivates students why they should learn about rank.

Hi matqkks, :)

The concept of rank of a matrix has applications in control theory as described here. And I think you can find countless number of applications of control theory. Here is a video I found that you may be interested in,

Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
