| Summary: | Elementary Linear Algebra, Fourth Edition offers computational techniques and fundamental theoretical results central to a first course in linear algebra. The text makes a gradual and smooth transition from computational results involving vectors, matrices, and systems of linear equations to the general theory of abstract vector spaces. The text also provides a comprehensive range of practical applications, which can be covered in a flexible manner. This text assists students to attain a level of abstract thinking essential for further mathematical study. The authors give early, intensive attention to the skills needed for a student to become comfortable with the reading and writing of mathematical proofs. This emphasis is continued throughout the text with careful statements of theorems and their proofs, and proof-related exercises. |
