Synopsis

Motivated by their desire for a single text that meets the various requirements found in linear algebra courses, renowned writing team Ward Cheney and David Kincaid have developed this multi-faceted introduction to linear algebra. Focusing on a comprehensive blend between theory and application, this text guides theoretically-oriented mathematics students as they devise proofs and deal with abstractions. Likewise, this unique blend appeals to applications-oriented science and engineering students with its numerous problem sets that focus on understanding and learning vector spaces, matrices, linear transformations, and other tools of applied linear algebra. With its flexible design, Linear Algebra: Theory and Application is an ideal text for instructors who wish to make their own choice of what material to emphasize, and includes over 3100 problems and homework assignments of great variety to highlight that choice.
