Elementary Linear Algebra (Hardback)

Condition

ACCEPTABLE: The book's cover, spine, binding, and pages are in good physical condition; however, there is writing in pencil and yellow highlighting on its pages, but the text remains readable and unobstructed. The majority of the pencil notations are on the title page and the page following. The pages are beginning to tan, showing the book's age (1968), but, overall, this book is in remarkably good, usable condition.

Product Details

From the Preface - "The text is designed to introduce some of the basic concepts and techniques of linear algebra and to make them accessible to freshmen and sophomores, many of whom are not mathematics majors. With this audience in mind, I have not stressed sophisticated proof technique, which can be left for later courses for mathematics majors. Instead, the emphasis is on interpretation and the development of computational tools." — Paul C. Shields

The book is well written but does require a basic knowledge of higher mathematical functions. A knowledge of integrals and derivatives is required for later chapters in the book. Chapters titles are used to define what a group of sections are addressing.

Chapters and their sections include:

1. Matrices and Vectors 2. Transformations and Matrices 3. Representations of Linear Transformations 4. Linear Differential Operators Appendix 1 Elementary Analytic Geometry Appendix 2 Dimension Theory Answers to Exercises Bibliography List of Theorems Index
