Introduction to Linear Algebra (Math)

This new offering will provide linear algebra instructors with a long-desired briefer book for a one-semester course. The author has taken care to include a selection of interesting applications that are feasible to cover in a semester. Lengthy descriptions of all possible applications are avoided to make this book shorter than others on the market. At the same time, students will appreciate the careful development of the geometric underpinnings of linear algebra beginning in Chapter 1. Students who have developed the more intuitive geometric understanding early in the course will find the more abstract concepts easier to grasp as they continue through the course.
