For courses in Advanced Linear Algebra.

This top-selling, theorem-proof text presents a careful treatment of the principle topics of linear algebra, and illustrates the power of the subject through a variety of applications. It emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between linear transformations and matrices, but states theorems in the more general infinite-dimensional case where appropriate.

NEW - Added section on the singular value decomposition.
- Discusses the pseudoinverse of a matrix or a linear transformation between finite-dimensional inner product spaces.

NEW - Revised proofs, added examples and exercises.
- Improves the clarity of the text and enhances students' understanding of it.

The friendliest treatment of rigor in linear algebra—Usually used for a 2nd course, but can be used for smart, fast students in first course.

Numerous accessible exercises—Enriches and extends the text material.
- Offers students a chance to test their understanding by working interesting problems at a reasonable level of difficulty.

Real-world applications throughout.
- Reveals to students the power of the subject by demonstrating its practical uses.

Added section on the singular value decomposition.
- Discusses the pseudoinverse of a matrix or a linear transformation between finite-dimensional inner product spaces.

Revised proofs, added examples and exercises.
- Improves the clarity of the text and enhances students' understanding of it.
