Introduction to Matrices and Linear Transformations: Third Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Product Description

This versatile undergraduate text can be used in a variety of courses in linear algebra. It contains enough material for a two-semester course, and it also serves as a support text and reference. Chapter Ten, on linear programming, will be of special interest to students of business and economics. A balanced combination of formal theory and related computational techniques, this treatment begins with the familiar problem of solving a system of linear equations. Subsequent chapters explore linear spaces and mappings, matrices, determinants, inner product spaces, scalar-valued functions, and linear differential equations. The author introduces metric notions of Euclidean space at an early sta…
