Linear Algebra (Modular Mathematics Series) (Modular Mathematics Series)

As the basis of equations (and therefore problem-solving), linear algebra is the most widely taught sub-division of pure mathematics. Dr Allenby has used his experience of teaching linear algebra to write a lively book on the subject that includes historical information about the founders of the subject as well as giving a basic introduction to the mathematics undergraduate. The whole text has been written in a connected way with ideas introduced as they occur naturally. As with the other books in the series, there are many worked examples. Solutions to the exercises are available online: * The full set of solutions for lecturers only is available for download on a password protected website at http://textbooks.elsevier.com/ * readers are freely accessible at http://books.elsevier.com/companions/0340610441.

"As the basis of equation and problem solving, linear algebra is the most widely taught subdivision of pure mathematics. The author has used his experience of teaching this subject to write a lively book that includes historical information about the founders of the subject as well as giving a basic introduction to the mathematics undergraduate. The whole text has been written in a connected way with ideas introduced as they occur naturally."--Jacket As the basis of equations (and therefore problem-solving), linear algebra is a widely taught sub-division of pure mathematics. This book includes historical information about the founders of the subject and gives a basic introduction to the mathematics undergraduate. Solutions of systems of simultaneous linear equations (also called linear systems) arise in very many real life situations; for just a couple of instances see the Applications at the end of the chapter.
