What topics of linear algebra are important
for game development and Opengl?
Thanks.
I would actually say: all algebra 
Good luck
Like goater, I’d say all linear algebra is useful. The more you understand this branch of mathematics the better. However, you can get by with a basic knowledge of vectors, matrices, an understanding of R1, R2, R3 & R4 space, linear transformations, inverse matrices, transposing matrices and that’s about it. You probably don’t need stuff like eigenvectors, orthogonality of subspaces, etc.
Hope that helps.
How good do you want the game engine to be?
To understand topics like Opengl matrix trasformation, what topics of linear algebra is fundamental?
For examples I don’t known why I need to combine modelview and projection matrix to get frustum clipping plane.
I have a tutorial in Opengl that explain like to perform frustum clipping planes,
but I have many problem to understand the function ExtractFrustum.
Any can explain this function?
float frustum[6][4];
ExtractFrustum()

glGetFloatv( GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, proj );

glGetFloatv( GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, modl );
