This book is an extensively revised version of my textbook "Yesodot
HaAlgebra HaLiniarit" (The Foundations of Linear Algebra) used at
many universities in Israel. It is designed for a comprehensive
one-year course in linear algebra (112 lecture hours) for
mathematics majors. Therefore, I assume that the student already
has a certain amount of mathematical background - including set
theory, mathematical induction, basic analytic geometry, and
elementary calculus - as wellas a modicum of mathematical
sophistication. My intention is to provide not only a solid basis
in the abstract theory of linear algebra, but also to provide
examples of the application of this theory to other branches
ofmathematics and computer science. Thus, for example, the
introduction of finite fields is dictated by the needs of students
studying algebraic coding theory as an immediate followup to their
linear algebra studies. Many of the students studying linear
algebra either are familiar with the care and feeding of computers
before they begin their studies or are simultaneously en rolled in
an introductory computer science course. Therefore, consideration
of the more computational aspects of linear algebra - such as the
solution of systems of linear equations and the calculation of
eigenvalues - is delayed until all students are assumed able to
write computer programs for this purpose. Beginning with Chap ter
VII, there is an implicit assumption that the student has access to
a personal computer and knows how to use it."
