Basic Matrix Algebra with Algorithms and Applications

Omtale

Classroom tested with great success, this text builds the foundation in matrix algebra needed by freshman students in mathematics, physics, and computer science and by upper-level business and social science students. The author presents the material with outstanding pedagogical clarity, many figures and diagrams, and interrelated examples. The presentation relies heavily on the use of a graphing calculator, includes section summaries, and provides exercises in each chapter. Organized into bite-sized objectives, this relatively gentle treatment prepares readers well for the advanced studies their fields will require.
