Opis

Elements of Linear Algebra presents a thorough discussion of systems of linear equations and their solutions. Vectors and matrices are introduced as needed and an account of determinants is given. Great emphasis has been placed on keeping the presentation as simple as possible, with many illustrative examples. While all mathematical assertions are proved, the student is led to view the mathematical content intuitively, as an aid to understanding.
