N1 - Funding Information: In 2018, funded by the National Science Foundation (DUE-1822247), experts from around the nation were invited to a 2-day workshop to re-evaluate the important work begun in [1], nearly thirty years ago. As a result, the LACSG 2.0 (the authors of this paper) was formed to revisit and update the recommendations in [1]. The new recom- mendations suggest teaching linear algebra sooner in the curriculum, removing calculus as a prerequisite, consider- ing the needs of industry, being aware of the latest research in linear algebra education, taking advantage of technology in teaching, motivating concepts with applications, and developing second courses in linear algebra. The purpose of this paper is to communicate the LACSG 2.0 recommen- dations to mathematics program leaders and instructors of linear algebra for their consideration.
