Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book presents linear algebra in a concise and clear way, allowing beginner students to quickly attain the required proficiency. Existing books on the subject often cover too many topics, some of which are too complex and intimidating for a first course in linear algebra. This book presents the essential topics in a more user-friendly manner, benefiting both instructors and their students. The author devises an optimized order of topics that are adapted to the learning patterns of students. In addition, carefully designed examples are presented to enhance reader confidence to master the material and to avoid frequently observed frustration. This textbook is ideal for a one semester course on basic linear algebra for college students majoring in mathematics, engineering, and other sciences.

This book:
• Presents a method to inspire quick grasps of algebraic key concepts and theorems
• Includes relevant practice problems throughout at progressive levels of difficulty
• Features intuitive examples throughout that clarify the presented concepts
