Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Analysis

This text is intended as a one or two semester sophomore level course in linear algebra. It is designed to provide a balance of applications, theory and computation, and to emphasize their interdependence.

Emphasizes linear algebra as an experimental science with a variety of modern applications Develops students' analytical writing with report projects that require descriptive precision Explores applications of linear algebra to contemporary topics in technology, like Google PageRank Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
