Come gather 'round, my little friends,
And hear a tale of maps and bends.
A matrix is a special thing,
It helps us see what math can bring.

An image is a picture true,
Of what a kernel can undo.
The kernel is the heart, you see,
Of any good math mystery.

A norm is just a way to measure,
How big or small a thing we treasure.
And when we need to turn things 'round,
An inverse helps us keep our ground.

Last but not least, independence,
Is key to solving math's defense.
We need to be free thinkers, you know,
To let our math skills really grow.

So take this knowledge with you, friends,
And see what math can truly send.
A world of wonder, joy, and fun,
Where every problem can be won!
