Description: Elementary Linear Algebra develops and explains in careful detail the computational techniques and fundamental theoretical results central to a first course in linear algebra. This highly acclaimed text focuses on developing the abstract thinking essential for further mathematical study. The authors give early, intensive attention to the skills necessary to make students comfortable with mathematical proofs. The text builds a gradual and smooth transition from computational results to general theory of abstract vector spaces. It also provides flexbile coverage of practical applications, exploring a comprehensive range of topics.

"Elementary Linear Algebra, Fourth Edition offers computational techniques and fundamental theoretical results central to a first course in linear algebra. The text makes a gradual and smooth transition from computational results involving vectors, matrices, and systems of linear equations to the general theory of abstract vector spaces. The text also provides a comprehensive range of practical applications, which can be covered in a flexible manner." "This text assists students to attain a level of abstract thinking essential for further mathematical study. The authors give early, intensive attention to the skills needed for a student to become comfortable with the reading and writing of mathematical proofs. This emphasis is continued throughout the text with careful statements of theorems and their proofs, and proof-related exercises."--BOOK JACKET.
