Introduction to Linear Algebra

CRC Press

This book provides a compact but thorough introduction to the topic. This book is intended for a senior undergraduate and for a beginning graduate one-semester course. The subject matter has been organized in the form of theorems and their proofs, and the presentation is rather unconventional. > \nThe techniques of linear algebra are used extensively across the applied sciences, and in many different areas of algebra such as group theory, module theory, representation theory, ring theory, and Galois theory. Written by experienced researchers with a decades of teaching experience, Introduction to Linear Algebra is a clear and rigorous introductory text on this key topic for students of both applied sciences and pure mathematics. > Linear Vector Spaces. Matrices. Determinants. Invertible Matrices. Linear Systems. LU Factorization. Linear Dependence and Independence. Bases and Dimension. Coordinates and Isomorphisms. Rank of a Matrix.
