Also known as abstract algebra. The study of vector spaces, linear transformations, ect. Like algebra only your working with matrices instead of numbers.
Rob: "Hey Sean are we gonna go clubin tonight or what?"

Sean: "Hell no dog I just got my linear algebra book gonna go pick up some matrices do some mad eigenvector on that shit."

Rob: "Oh snap subspace gonna get fucked up tonight."

after all jake gyllenhaal films, a circle jerk must be performed in his honor. unless there's only two people, in which case it must be a linear jerk.

An algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. Linear equations can contain one or more variables
A linear expression was used no where, but the teacher forced us to learn it anyways.

The creation of highly resolved lines in art with the use of contrapositive colors on the color wheel (Each set of two contrapositive colors forms a single line across the node (center) of the wheel of colors).

The artistic process used to create hyperreal art.
Contrapositive linearity is the death of postmodernism because juxtaposition is convergence and duality is linearity ie. convergence is in the past.

This contrasts with positive (formalistic) linearity in which juxtaposition is linearity and convergence is duality ie. convergence is the future.

Thus convergence in the past can only happen aesthetically.

Another form of the ever popular, "circle jerk", where there are only two participants therefore forming a "line" instead of a "circle".

The two participants jerk-off together and when they have both completed the action, they have attained a "linear jerk". Although sometimes referred to as a "linear wank", in the United States it has been growing in popularity in dorm rooms everwhere under the term "linear jerk".
Eric and I were in our dorm room, and it was just us, so we did a linear jerk. Next time you should come and we can have a circle jerk!

To respond by losing one's sense of perspective and becoming agitated in the extreme.

Possibly borrowed from meteorology. A cellular storm "goes linear" when it turns into more of a squall line (or merges with an existing storm) -- i.e., that it's going to turn into a big black line of death. (from stormtrack.org).

I have a sense that there should also be a nuclear physics metaphor, but I don't know it.
My boss went linear when I showed him my expense report.
