Linear algebra is a fundamental area of mathematics, and is
arguably the most powerful mathematical tool ever developed. It is
a core topic of study within fields as diverse as: business,
economics, engineering, physics, computer science, ecology,
sociology, demography and genetics. For an example of linear
algebra at work, one needs to look no further than the Google
search engine, which relies upon linear algebra to rank the results
of a search with respect to relevance. The strength of the text is
in the large number of examples and the step-by-step explanation of
each topic as it is introduced. It is compiled in a way that allows
distance learning, with explicit solutions to set problems freely
available online. The miscellaneous exercises at the end of each
chapter comprise questions from past exam papers from various
universities, helping to reinforce the reader's confidence. Also
included, generally at the beginning of sections, are short
historical biographies of the leading players in the field of
linear algebra to provide context for the topics covered. The
dynamic and engaging style of the book includes frequent question
and answer sections to test the reader's understanding of the
methods introduced, rather than requiring rote learning. When first
encountered, the subject can appear abstract and students will
sometimes struggle to see its relevance; to counter this, the book
also contains interviews with key people who use linear algebra in
practice, in both professional and academic life. It will appeal to
undergraduate students in mathematics, the physical sciences and
engineering.
