Linear Algebra e-bog

Linear Algebra is intended primarily as an undergraduate textbook but is written in such a way that it can also be a valuable resource for independent learning. The narrative of the book takes a matrix approach: the exposition is intertwined with matrices either as the main subject or as tools to explore the theory. Each chapter contains a description of its aims, a summary at the end of the chapter, exercises, and solutions. The reader is carefully guided through the theory and techniques presented which are outlined throughout in "e;How to..."e; text boxes. Common mistakes and pitfalls are also pointed out as one goes along.FeaturesWritten to be self-containedIdeal as a primary textbook for an undergraduate course in linear algebraApplications of the general theory which are of interest to disciplines outside of mathematics, such as engineering
