Ideas and Applications
Provides an understanding of various algebraic concepts and their applications in such fields as science, engineering, and computer science. This text introduces abstract concepts such as linear transformations, eigenvalues, vector spaces, and orthogonality. It also features the gradual development of vector spaces.This title features a student oriented approach to linear algebra, now in its Second Edition. This introductory level linear algebra text is for students who require a clear understanding of key algebraic concepts and their applications in such fields as science, engineering, and computer science. The text utilizes a parallel structure that introduces abstract concepts such as linear transformations, eigenvalues, vector spaces, and orthogonality in tandem with computational skills, thereby demonstrating clear and immediate relations between theory and application. Important features of the Second Edition include: gradual development of vector spaces; highly readable proofs; conceptual exercises; applications sections for self study; early orthogonality option; and numerous computer projects using MATLAB and Maple. |
