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 equations, properties of Euclidean n-space, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and orthogonality. Although matrix-oriented, the text provides a solid coverage of vector spaces
- Examples are accompanied by similar practice problems that enable students to test their understanding of the material Complete solutions to the practice problems are included with the text
- All computational exercises are designed so that the calculations involve “nice” numbers.
- Most sections include approximately 20 true/false exercises designed to test students' understanding of the conceptual ideas in each section. Answers to every true/false are given in the book.
- Each chapter ends with a set of review exercises that provide practice with all the main topics of each chapter.
- For a proof-oriented course, the authors have included a significant number of accessible exercises requiring proofs. They are ordered according to difficulty.
- A wide variety of applications include traffic flow, scheduling, and Google searches.
- Significantly increased number of computation exercises.
- Complete redesign and development of the text.
