Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics that has grown out of a theoretical study of the problem of solving systems of linear equations. The ideas that developed in this way have become part of the language of practically all of higher mathematics. They also provide a framework for applications in mathematical economics (linear programming), computer science, and the natural sciences.This book is the 4th edition of a textbook, designed for upper division courses in linear algebra. While it does not presuppose an earlier course, the pace of the discussion, and the emphasis on the theoretical development, make it best suited for students who have completed the calculus sequence.
