Mathematics

For introductory sophomore-level courses in Linear Algebra or Matrix Theory.

This text presents the basic ideas of linear algebra in a manner that offers students a fine balance between abstraction/theory and computational skills. The emphasis is on not just teaching how to read a proof but also on how to write a proof.

• NEW - Improved pedagogy—Divides Chapter 1, Linear Equations and Matrices, into two chapters, laying the foundation for using the idea of matrix function or maps.

  • Provides students with an easier format to understand important concepts. Gives instructors the opportunity to present subject matter more comprehensively.

• NEW - Matrix multiplication in a separate section.

  • Gives students more careful coverage of this topic.

• NEW - Matrix Transformations —Included in this edition.

  • Introduces geometric applications at a very early stage.

• NEW - Computer Graphics —Gives an application of matrix transformations.

  • Gives students this application earlier in this edition, illustrating the concept more fully.

• NEW - Improved organization—Material moved around a bit in Chapters 1 and 4.

  • Provides students with improved exposition and flow of material.

• NEW - Correlation Coefficient —Gives an application of dot product to statistics in a new section.

• NEW - More computer-graphics—Includes Section 5.6, Introduction to Homogeneous Coordinates.

  • Extends and generalizes for students the concepts of computer graphics.

• NEW - More on search engines—Includes Section 7.9, Dominant Eigenvalue and Principal Component Analysis, and includes several applications of this material.

  • Discusses for students the popular search engine Google®, and how it uses the dominant eigenvalue of an enormously large matrix to search the web.

• NEW - Eigenvalue development includes the complex case.

  • Provides a more unified approach.

• NEW - More geometry throughout (figures increased by a third).

  • Offers students a stronger emphasis on the geometrical presentation of basic ideas, and supports this emphasis with an increased use of illustrative ideas.

• NEW - Appendix on an introduction to proofs.

  • Eases students into the abstract aspects of linear algebra.

• NEW - Added exercises at all levels—Includes 1603 exercises; exercises are available at the end of each chapter.

  • Allows students to more fully explore and study the topics at hand.

• NEW - Upgraded MATLAB M-files.

  • Gives students the more modern versions of these files.

• NEW - Key terms listed at the end of each section.

• NEW - Chapter review at the end of each chapter—Includes review True/False questions and Chapter Quiz.

• Crisp, conversational tone.

  • Enables students to easily follow the style of the text.

• Strong pedagogical framework.

  • Provides students with a strong understanding by gradually introducing topics that connect abstract ideas to concrete foundations.

• Answers to odd-numbered exercises—Available in a section at the back of the text.

  • Enables instructors to use text exercises as graded homework assignments.

• General level of applications—Presents applications that are suited to a more general audience, rather than for a strongly science-oriented one.

  • Enables instructors to use this text for a greater variety of class levels.

• Easy use and readability—Features brief text, smaller trim size, and blue second-color ink.

  • Provides students with an easily-read and easily-utilized book.

• Comprehensive supplements—Includes a Student Solutions Manual, an Instructor's Solutions Manual, and a Companion Website.

  • Gives both students and instructors valuable course support.

• Improved pedagogy—Divides Chapter 1, Linear Equations and Matrices, into two chapters, laying the foundation for using the idea of matrix function or maps.

  • Provides students with an easier format to understand important concepts. Gives instructors the opportunity to present subject matter more comprehensively.
