From the Publisher

This introduction to linear algebra focuses on dynamical systems -- continuous and discrete -- as a unifying theme, as motivation for eigenvectors, and in examples of major applications of linear algebra -- particularly systems of differential equations. Pedagogically strong ,it introduces abstract concepts gradually and gently -- without "spoon feeding" students. It uses visualization and geometrical interpretations extensively and features an abundance of both routine and thought-provoking problems and exercises involving abstract concepts and applications.
