Synopsis

A textbook for an undergraduate course for students familiar with the basics of differential and integral calculus from either one semester or two quarters of elementary calculus. Contains all the topics recommended by the NSF's Linear Algebra Curriculum Study Group, and more material than can be covered in a quarter or semester. Courses at the sophomore level can focus on the early chapters and omit many of the sections in later chapters. Courses at the junior or senior level can skate over the first two chapters and get to the meat. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
