Linear Algebra: An Inquiry-based Approach is written to give
instructors a tool to teach students to develop a mathematical
concept from first principles. The Inquiry-based Approach is
central to this development. The text is organized around and
offers the standard topics expected in a first undergraduate course
in linear algebra. In our approach, students begin with a problem
and develop the mathematics necessary to describe, solve, and
generalize it. Thus students learn a vital skill for the 21st
century: the ability to create a solution to a problem. This text
is offered to foster an environment that supports the creative
process. The twin goals of this textbook are: *Providing
opportunities to be creative, *Teaching "ways of thinking" that
will make it easier for to be creative. To motivate the development
of the concepts and techniques of linear algebra, we include more
than two hundred activities on a wide range of problems, from
purely mathematical questions, through applications in biology,
computer science, cryptography, and more. Table of Contents
