Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear ...
In this innovative new Linear Algebra text, award-winning educator David Poole covers vectors and vector geometry first to enable students to visualize the mathematics while they are doing matrix operations. Rather than merely doing the calculations with no understanding of the mathematics, students will be able to visualize and understand the ...

From April 1999 Notices of the AMS, announcing that the author was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition for his many mathematics books: "Lang's Algebra changed the way graduate algebra is taught, retaining classical topics but introducing language and ways of thinking from category theory and homological algebra. It has ...
As a newly minted Ph.D., Paul Halmos came to the Institute for Advanced Study in 1938 - even though he did not have a fellowship - to study among the many giants of mathematics who had recently joined the faculty. He eventually became John von Neumann's research assistant, and it was one of von Neumann's inspiring lectures that spurred Halmos to ...

Balancing ...
For introductory sophomore-level courses in Linear Algebra or Matrix Theory. This text presents the basic ideas of linear algebra in a manner that offers students a fine balance between abstraction/theory and computational skills. The emphasis is on not just teaching how to read a proof but also on how to write a proof.
This text for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at math majors and graduate students. The approach is novel, banishing determinants to the end of the book and focusing on the central goal of linear algebra: understanding the structure of linear operators on vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to ...

The text balances theory with examples, applications, and geometric intuition."Learning Tools CD-ROM will be automatically packaged free with every new text purchased from ...
This is a graduate textbook covering an especially broad range of topics. The first part of the book contains a careful but rapid discussion of the basics of linear algebra, including vector spaces, linear transformations, quotient spaces, and isomorphism theorems. The author then proceeds to modules, emphasizing a comparison with vector spaces. A ...
An accessible, applications-oriented presentation of the theory of linearalgebra. This is the top selling theorem-proof text in the market. *NEW - The text has been extensively rewritten with many additional examples and exercises and for increased clarity. *NEW - Additional material on the reduced echelon form of a matrix is included in ...
This guide provides a clear, interactive introduction to the key concepts of those disciplines collectively known as precalculus, including an algebra review and complete coverage of exponential and log functions, trigonometry, and linear programming. An addition to Wiley's stable of self-teaching maths titles, it offers a self-teaching approach ...
For a sophomore-level course in Linear Algebra. Based on the recommendations of the Linear Algebra Curriculum Study Group, this introduction to linear algebra offers a matrix-oriented approach with more emphasis on problem solving and applications. Throughout the text, use of technology is encouraged. The focus is on matrix arithmetic, systems of ...
Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a "brick wall." Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and ...
The third edition of this textbook continues to use an applications approach as the vehicle for explaining theoretical concepts, and promoting real-world problem solving in the exercises. It aims to use the visual nature of applications to bridge the gap between concrete and abstract understanding. A new early introduction of eigenvalues and ...
Covers determinants, linear spaces, systems of linear equations, linear functions of a vector argument, coordinate transformations, the canonical form of the matrix of a linear operator, bilinear and quadratic forms, and more.
This classic volume applies linear algebra to a variety of disciplines-engineering, the physical sciences, social sciences, and business. It motivates the reader with illustrative examples. This is a competitor to Strang.
