A developmental approach toLinear AlgebraThis text covers a standard rst course: Gausss method,vector spaces, linear maps and matrices, determinants, andeigenvalues and eigenvectors. In addition, each chapter endswith some topics such as brief applications.What sets it apart is careful motivation, many examples, andextensive exercise sets. Together these help each studentmaster the material of this course, and also help an instructordevelop that students level of mathematical maturity.This book has been available online for many years and iswidely used, both in classrooms and for self-study. It is sup-ported by worked answers for all exercises, beamer slides forclassroom use, and a lab manual of computer work.
