This book presents the basic ideas of matrix and linear algebra in such a way that users from diverse backgrounds who have had some exposure to calculus will understand, by utilizing both algebraic and geometric reasoning. A spiral approach gradually introduces the abstract foundations of the topics involved linear combination, closure, subspaces, linear independence/dependence, and bases. Opportunities for a variety of applications, and the optional use of MATLAB, provide hands-on explorations of computations and concepts. KEY TOPICS: Chapter topics include matrices, linear systems and their solutions, Eigen information, vector spaces, inner product spaces, and linear transformations. For individuals who want to learn abstract concepts and deal with a wide variety of applications that can be drawn from fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, economics, engineering, computer science, psychology, and sociology.
