  • 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.
