Such functions are called linear, for reasons that I'll explain soon enough (well, we generally want another condition for linear functions involving scalar multiples of the variable, but I'll ...

Shie-Shien Yang, Linear Functions of Concomitants of Order Statistics with Application to Nonparametric Estimation of a Regression Function, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 76, ...

Generalized linear models are widely used by data analysts. However, the choice of the link function is often made arbitrarily. Here we permit the data to estimate the link function by incorporating ...

Christophe P. Basso has written a new book: Linear Circuit Transfer Functions—An Introduction to Fast Analytical Techniques.

Getting an all-optical AI to handle non-linear math Instead of sensing photons and processing the results, why not process the photons?

But yeah, an intro linear algebra course is unlikely to have calculus in it. Intro differential equations, on the other hand, is pretty likely to have some linear algebra in it.
