That's a bit like asking the main application of medical science to the human body. The applications are practically endless. They start with the development of computer chips and go straight through to a wide variety of software, including 3D games, simulations, and anything that deals with matrices or arrays.

I dont think that this question has an answer.
lineair algebra is just a tool for solving some of the issues in computer science , it is the same as asking what is the main application of mathematical addition in computer science.

Gee -- the MAIN application? That's a hard one, there are so many applications. It's almost like asking what the main application of subtraction is.
I would guess that one of the main applications is making the internet faster, by scheduling the path that the web pages and messages take to get to you.

The reason it's included in the course work is because linear algebra, linear programming, discrete mathematics (or whatever your school calls it) requires development of problem solving skills beyond algebra and formulas. It requires you to see the entire problem and formulate a stepwise solution. That is exactly the skill set necessary in computer programming. The closest you came to this previously was geometric proofs, and most high schools dumb this down so the kids and parents don't complain.

All right...let's solve it:
I don't worry about the application of linear algebra to anything at all....doesn't concern me in the least.
BOOM! Problem solved...
