About the Authors
  • Many books in linear algebra focus purely on getting students through exams, but this text explains both the how and the why of linear algebra and enables students to begin thinking like mathematicians. The author demonstrates how different topics (geometry, abstract algebra, numerical analysis, physics) make use of vectors in different ways and how these ways are connected, preparing students for further work in these areas. The book is packed with hundreds of exercises ranging from the routine to the challenging. Sketch solutions of the easier exercises are available online.

    • Shows vectors from many different points of view so that students develop a deeper understanding
    • Prepares students for further work in abstract algebra, analysis and physics
    • With over 700 exercises, provides ample material for self study
