+% Let's give clarifications about the meaning of Z and R when we use them in the first problems.
+
+% Definitely define $R^n$ before using. Optionally you may add a problem "convince yourself that $R^2$ is a plane and $R^3$ is a 3-d space".
+
+% Maybe we can add an example of a linear transformation from R^2 to R^2? Rotation? Scaling of y-axis?
+
+% Slow down, understand linear transformations fully.
