Linear Algebra and Its Applications
By Gilbert Strang
About your course materials
Renowned professor and author Gilbert Strang demonstrates that linear algebra is a fascinating subject by showing both its beauty and applications. While giving you the necessary mathematics, the book is not entirely concentrated on theorems and proofs. Strang explains rather than deduces; the emphasis is on understanding. This book is written in an informal and personal style and teaches real mathematics. In Chapter 2, the gears change as you transition to vector spaces. Throughout the book, the theory is motivated and reinforced by interesting and important applications.

Offers a large number of applications to physics, engineering, probability and statistics, economics, and biology. These are not tacked on at the end; they are part of the mathematics.
Includes an optional section on the Fast Fourier Transform. Students discover how this outstanding algorithm fits into linear algebra and introduces complex numbers.
Recognizes what the computer can do in linear algebra, without being dominated by it.
Contains a wealth of exercises that appear in the sections and in the chapter reviews.
