What Jobs Utilize Linear Algebra and Matrices?

[blue2004STi]

Does anybody know of any jobs that deal explicitly with Matrices and/or Linear Algebra? I have to do a paper and I need to find a subject area that interest me and do a summary of equations and such for what the actual people use for their jobs. I looked and could only find job websites that said "need experience with matrix reporting"... not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm interested in cars, football, music, airplanes. Anything in these areas that you guys know of?

Thanks,

Matt

Many engineering calculations use the finite element method, as well as simpler systems of equations [e.g. simple multiloop circuits or equilibria of structures]. Computer graphics and image processing (e.g. Photoshop) use matrices.
