Introductory Linear Algebra
Kolman

For freshman/sophomore-level courses in Linear Algebra. This book provides an applied introduction to the basic ideas, computational techniques, and applications of linear algebra. The most applied of our basic books in this market, this text has a superb range of problem sets. Calculus is not a prerequisite, although examples and exercises using very basic calculus are included (labeled "Calculus Required.") The most technology-friendly text on the market, Introductory Linear Algebra is also the most flexible. By omitting certain sections, instructors can cover the essentials of linear algebra (including eigenvalues and eigenvectors) and introduce applications of linear algebra in a one-semester course. NEW - New sections–Includes An Introduction to Coding, Matrix Transformations, and More on Coding. (see pp. 119-124, 390-403) - Provides students with an enhanced text that introduces geometric applications and coding. Exanded End-of-Chapter Review material- The key ideas section empahsizes the verbal/language aspects of linear algebra. (see pp. 179-181, 211-213, 371-374) Flexibility- The lengthy Applications are grouped into separate chapters that are quite optional. So this lengthy text collapses to just under 400 pages if the applications chapters aren't assigned. NEW - More geometry–Adds more figures to increase the geometrical aspects of linear algebra. (see pp. 52-60) - Gives students a strong emphasis on linear transformations and geometry. NEW - More exercises at all levels. (see pp. 49-52, 105-107) - Provides students with more opportunities to enhance understanding. NEW - Upgraded MATLAB chapter. (see Chapter 12) - Gives students more modern versions of MATLAB, preparing them for higher-level courses. NEW - Key terms–Added to the end of each section. - Provides students with an increased empahsis on communication skills in mathematics. (pp. 165, 178) NEW - New Glossary. (see p. A35) - Enables students to use this text for reference in the future. Strong, clear presentation of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors–Defines Eigenvalues in terms of real and complex numbers. - Provides students with a firm foundation in this important topic. Strong supplement package–Includes a Student Solutions Manual, and an Instructor's Solutions Manual. Any one of the following supplements can be ordered free of charge when shrinkwrapped with the text: Linear Algebra Labs with MATLAB, Visualizing Linear Algebra with Maple, ATLAST Computer Exercises for Linear Algebra, and Understanding Linear Algebra with MATLAB. - Enables students to check their answers to all odd-numbered computational and theoretical exercises, providing enhanced review. Gives instructors valuable course support.
