Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Visual Linear Algebra is a new kind of textbook―a blend of interactive computer tutorials and traditional text. The computer tutorials provide a lively learning environment in which students are introduced to concepts and methods and where they develop their intuition. The traditional sections provide the backbone whose core is the development of theory and where students’ understanding is solidified. Although the design of Visual Linear Algebra is novel, the goals for the book are quite traditional. Foremost among these is to provide a rich set of materials that help students achieve a thorough understanding of the core topics of linear algebra and genuine competence in using them.

A difference you can see!

Featuring a unique blend of interactive computer tutorials and student-centered text, Herman and Pepe’s Visual Linear Algebra offers an innovative new way to learn linear algebra. This text and accompanying CD work together to help students achieve a thorough understanding of core concepts and the skills they need to apply them.

With Visual Linear Algebra, students can:

• Become actively engaged in the material. The exercises, demonstrations, explorations, visualizations, and animations in the tutorials stimulate student interest, encourage students to think about mathematics, and help them check their comprehension.
• Build a strong geometric understanding. The authors use geometry extensively to help students develop an intuitive understanding of the concepts of linear algebra.
• Learn the language of linear algebra. The authors’ innovative “Can You Speak Linear Algebra?” exercises help students use mathematical terminology correctly in their written work.
• Work through interesting applications. Ten fascinating applications, each thoroughly developed in its own tutorial, allow readers to engage in substantial activities that yield worthwhile results.
• Develop an intuitive grasp of the concepts. Visual Linear Algebra progresses from the concrete and experiential to the abstract and theoretical, to help students develop confidence in their understanding and make the transition to higher mathematics.
