Linear Algebra

Linear algebra is one of the most widely used mathematical theories around, and has applications in virtually every area of mathematics, including multivariate calculus, differential equations, and probability theory. The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between the abstract theoretical aspects and the computational applications of linear algebra. The aim of this book is two-fold: to introduce the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and to apply the theorems in computation-oriented applications.

Features:

- Covers theory and applications emphasizing topics useful in other disciplines

- Presents a brief introduction of some aspects of abstract algebra that relate directly to linear algebra, such as groups, rings, modules, fields and polynomials over fields.
