This current text fully integrates applications and technology into the linear algebra course, and provides coverage of provocative topics, such as chaos theory and coding theory. The authors designed this text to be rich in examples, exercises, and applications. It includes all basic linear algebra theory, most important numerical methods, and incorporates technology without sacrificing material basic to the course.
This text is filled with applications that appear throughout and at the end of each chapter. They are designed to enhance students' learning. Instructors have the flexibility of including or omitting them from the course. Computer material is fully integrated into the text, but remains optional. All computer exercises can be solved with a variety of programs including, but not limited to, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB®.
The plethora of examples is meant to be valuable to both students and professors. With step-by-step instructions, the examples are designed to help make the material easy to understand and follow.
