Linear Algebra

by L. Shen, Haohao Wang, J. Wojdylo

Overview

The aim of this book is two-fold: to introduce the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and to apply the theorems in computation-oriented applications. The book is suitable for a one semester course in linear algebra that can be used in a variety of contexts. The presentation of the material combines definitions and proofs with an emphasis on computational applications, providing examples that illustrate the use of software packages such as Mathematica^®, Maple^®, and Sage.

Features:

- Introduces the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and applies the theorems in computation-oriented applications

- Presents a brief introduction of some aspects of abstract algebra that relate directly to linear algebra, such as groups, rings, modules, fields and polynomials over fields.
