Linear Algebra is a text for a one-semester course that is given in every undergraduate university and college curriculum in most of the world. The book adopts an algorithmic approach, giving the student many examples to work through and copious exercises to test their skill and extend their knowledge of the subject. The course will generally be at the junior/senior level, though sometimes will also be taught at the beginning graduate level.

Klappentext

• Proposes a radically new and thoroughly algorithmic approach to linear algebra

• Each proof is an algorithm described in English that can be translated into the computer language the class is using and put to work solving problems and generating new examples * Designed for a one-semester course, this text gives the student many examples to work through and copious exercises to test their skills and extend their knowledge of the subject
