Contributions summary:Tianyi primarily contributed to the `linear_algebra` module by refactoring and reorganizing methods within the `Vector` and `Matrix` classes. They implemented unit tests for new methods and renamed existing methods to follow Python naming conventions. Furthermore, they merged and refactored the `fibonacci.py` files while rewriting and merging other methods related to maths. The user also updated the `README.md` files to reflect the code changes.
