Reiji wants two things in life: a black belt in karate and Misa,
the girl of his dreams. Luckily, Misa's big brother is the captain
of the university karate club and is ready to strike a deal: Reiji
can join the club if he tutors Misa in linear algebra.
Follow along in "The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra" as Reiji
takes Misa from the absolute basics of this tricky subject through
mind-bending operations like performing linear transformations,
calculating determinants, and finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues.
With memorable examples like miniature golf games and karate
tournaments, Reiji transforms abstract concepts into something
concrete, understandable, and even fun.
As you follow Misa through her linear algebra crash course,
you'll learn about: Basic vector and matrix operations such as
addition, subtraction, and multiplicationLinear dependence,
independence, and basesUsing Gaussian elimination to calculate
inverse matricesSubspaces, dimension, and linear spanPractical
applications of linear algebra in fields like computer graphics,
cryptography, and engineering
But Misa's brother may get more than he bargained for as sparks
start to fly between student and tutor. Will Reiji end up with the
girl--or just a pummeling from her oversized brother? Real math,
real romance, and real action come together like never before in
"The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra."
