Synopsis

Linear Algebra: An Introduction With Mathematica uses a matrix-based presentation and covers the standard topics any mathematician will need to understand linear algebra while using Mathematica. Development of analytical and computational skills is emphasized, and worked examples provide step-by-step methods for solving basic problems using Mathematica. The subject's rich pertinence to problem solving across disciplines is illustrated with applications in engineering, the natural sciences, computer animation, and statistics.

• Includes a thematic presentation of linear algebra
• Provides a systematic integration of Mathematica
• Encourages students to appreciate the benefits of mathematical rigor
• All exercises can be solved with Mathematica

Fred E. Szabo is professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Concordia University in Canada. He completed his undergraduate studies at Oxford University under the guidance of Sir Michael Dummett and received a Ph.D. in mathematics from McGill University under the supervision of Joachim Lambek. After postdoctoral studies at Oxford University and visiting professorships at several European universities, he returned to Concordia University as a faculty member and dean of graduate studies. For more than twenty years, he developed methods for the teaching of mathematics with technology. In 2012 he was honored at the annual Wolfram Technology Conference for his work on "A New Kind of Learning" with a Wolfram Innovator Award. He is currently professor and Provost Fellow at Concordia University.

From the Back Cover

This book is written for a standard first course in linear algebra, taught and learned with MATHEMATICA. Development of analytical and computational skills is emphasized, and worked examples provide step-by-step methods for solving basic problems using MATHEMATICA.
Linear algebra's rich pertinence to problem-solving across disciplines is illustrated with applications in engineering, the natural sciences, computer animation, an statistics. Topic coverage includes linear systems, matrix algebra, determinants, real vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, vector and matrix norms, inner products, orthogonality, and singular valuedecoposition. The book's matrix-based approach has been extensively classroom tested.
