Description
There are a few mathematical utilities in C++ and a lot is upcoming.
We have the standard math functions (e.g. sin etc), and the special math functions (#344). There is std::complex (#343). We also don't mention the C++20 <numbers> header, which finally contains std::numbers::pi :)
C++23 has std::mdspan as MD array abstraction (e.g. for matrices and tensors). Built on this, we will get a standard interface for linear algebra (based on BLAS using std::mdspan) in C++26. std::mdarray and std::submdspan may also come in C++26.
This may deserve a small section of its own at some point.

Research direction
Review the existing standard math-functions material and the related issues #343 and #344 to understand how these topics are organized. Decide whether linear algebra utilities warrant a separate section and define its scope, including the relevant C++ standards and utilities; done means the course has an agreed, specific section plan.
