This textbook for the first undergraduate linear algebra course presents a unified treatment of linear algebra and geometric algebra, while covering most of the usual linear algebra topics.
This is the July 2026 printing. The important Section 6.3, How Geometric Algebra Works, has been improved.
There are minor improvements in the text. All errors known to me have been corrected.
The book can be used for self study by those comfortable with the theorem/proof style of a mathematics text.

I commend Alan Macdonald for his excellent book! His exposition is clean and spare. He has done a fine job of engineering a gradual transition from standard views of linear algebra to the perspective of geometric algebra. The book is sufficiently conventional to be adopted as a textbook by an adventurous teacher without getting flack from colleagues. Yet it leads to gems of geometric algebra that are likely to delight thoughtful students and surprise even the most experienced instructors.
