Hermann Grassmann, a 19th-century German scholar, pioneered the foundations of Linear Algebra, a mathematical discipline crucial for diverse fields like Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics. This article endeavours to present a comprehensive biography of Grassmann, emphasizing two works documenting his contributions to this domain. Employing bibliographic research coupled with qualitative data analysis grounded in the logical-historical movement of the object, the study enables a historical, cultural, and social examination. Addressing the central question — what were Grassmann's contributions to the evolution of Linear Algebra, positioning him as its creator? — the inquiry concludes that Grassmann introduced notions integral to contemporary Linear Algebra, including n-dimensional vector spaces and linear transformations. Consequently, he garners recognition from many as the creator of Linear Algebra.

Palabras clave : History of Mathematics; Linear Algebra; Hermann Grassmann; Logical- historical Movement.
