Description
|
This book is intended for a first level linear algebra course with an emphasis on theory. The third edition has been updated and revised, but its parallel structure (abstract concepts are introduced along with computational) concepts remains intact. Numerous updates have been added to the third edition such as two new chapters on numerical linear algebra and the Jordan normal form. Full sections on both Hermitian and Unitary matrices have been added, as well as sections on computational linear algebra and wavelets. Chapter summaries tie together the major points of the chapter and act as an overview for the reader. The text is complete with applications when and where appropriate. Most sections are followed by at least one application section, which includes two different types of exercises: Self-Study Questions and Exercises. The exercises have been greatly increased and consist of application, numerical, and conceptual questions, and each exercise section begins with True-False questions. This book is intended for students taking a linear algebra course and covers a number of applications of linear algebra. A student solutions manual is available and contains worked out examples, further hints for selected exercises, and translations of the computer exercises into various platforms, i.e. Maple (Version 11), MATLAB®, and TI calculators.
