Product Description This text covers a standard first course: Gauss’s Method, vector spaces, linear maps and matrices, determinants, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In addition, each chapter ends with some brief topics, such as applications. What sets it apart is careful motivation, many examples, and extensive exercise sets. Together, these help each student master the material of the course and also help an instructor develop that student’s level of mathematical maturity. Review "The clear writing style, tremendous variety of exercises, amenability to use with active learning strategies, and the careful attention to detail in preparation mean that the text is exceptionally adaptable."
