When I was in school in the U.K. we did the first and second things, including eg multiplying matrices, eigenstuff, diagonalising them, inverting small matrices, some determinant/cross product stuff, and we maybe did the thing where you solve a first order linear ODE system by converting to matrix exponentiation, though I don’t quite remember. I think we just called it vectors and matrices.
There was some useful stuff there. The problem is that it was at a course so close to the leaves of the ‘x allowed to depend on material from y’ tree that we didn’t get to apply that much (related example: we had to waste a bunch of time on silly equations in physics because they couldn’t depend on us knowing about the y’ = kx ODE)
At university we did some courses in vectors and matrices / vector calculus that went down the practical route towards physics things and useful tools, and we had a course called ‘linear algebra’ that covered the abstract algebra side of things, where everything was lemmas/theorems/proofs beginning with e.g. suppose e1, e2, …, en is a basis for a vector space V over F, …. However it is certainly possible that the US terminology (linear algebra for everything) was more common outside of the courses I took.
