Elementary Linear Algebra
By- Stephen Andrilli, LaSalle University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
- David Hecker, Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Elementary Linear Algebra develops and explains in careful detail the computational techniques and fundamental theoretical results central to a first course in linear algebra. This highly acclaimed text focuses on developing the abstract thinking essential for further mathematical study.
The authors give early, intensive attention to the skills necessary to make students comfortable with mathematical proofs. The text builds a gradual and smooth transition from computational results to general theory of abstract vector spaces. It also provides flexbile coverage of practical applications, exploring a comprehensive range of topics.
