Abstract :
Matrices are important tools for many fields, and used in solving systems of linear equation. Technological tools are available to work with matrix operations, but still students avoid using matrices, specially in early stages. Moreover, they limit the use to solving linear equations. Using the field of electrical circuits, this paper introduces the advantage of looking at the systems of equations and solutions from other perspectives, thereby motivating students in the process of mathematical tasks. This approach is illustrated with examples.
