Reihe: Textbooks in Mathematics

This is the first of a two-part set of books for the undergraduate linear algebra sequence. The text is for the more computational course taught in most mathematics departments. This course is based around matrices and applications. The text begins with matrices, linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The text offers many applications to motivate students from engineering, physics, computer science and other disiplines. It offers a historical perspective. Proofs are presented to promote the further study of advanced mathematics.

Über Autor(innen)

Jim Kirkwood holds a Ph.D. from University of Virginia. He has had ten mathematics textbooks published on various topics including calculus, real analysis, mathematical biology and mathematical physics. His original research was in mathematical physics, and he co-authored the seminal paper in a topic now called Kirkwood-Thomas Theory in mathematical physics. During the summer, he teaches real analysis to entering graduate students at the University of Virginia. He has been awarded several National Science Foundation grants.
