You could teach it as part of maths.

I think there's too much algebra in secondary school (and not enough of it in college).

Few people are gonna miss matrix multiplication after school.

I may be mistaken, but I think the kids that would benefit most from finance education don’t get to matrix multiplication anyway.

In my school (Canada), the math classes for the smart kids have stuff like matrix multiplication, and for the less ambitious kids there are units on finance.
