In linear algebra, there is an operation that you can do to a matrix called a linear transformation that will get you answers called eigenvalues and eigenvectors. They are to complicated to explain in this forum assuming that you haven't studied them yet, but their usefulness is everywhere in science and math, specifically quantum mechanics. By finding the eigenvalues to certain equations, one can come up with the energy levels of hydrogen, or the possible spins of an electron.

You really need to be familiar with matrices, algebra, and calculus though before you start dabbling in linear algebra.
