Practical Linear Algebra introduces students in math, science, engineering, and computer science to Linear Algebra from an intuitive and geometric viewpoint, creating a level of understanding that goes far beyond mere matrix manipulations. Practical aspects, such as computer graphics topics and numerical strategies, are covered throughout, and thus students can build a "Geometry Toolbox," based on a geometric understanding of the key concepts.
This book covers all the standard linear algebra material for a first-year course; the authors teach by motivation, illustration, and example rather than by using a theorem/proof style.
Special Features:
- Clear visual representations (more than 200 figures) for improved material comprehension.
- Hand-drawn sketches encourage students to create their own sketches when solving problems-developing another layer of learning.
- Numerous examples show applications to real-world problems.
- Problems at the end of each chapter allow students to test their understanding of the material presented.
- Solutions to selected problems are provided.
- Concise chapter summaries highlight the most important points, giving students focus for their approach to learning.
- An instructor's online guide is available.
