Elementary linear algebra

This is the first of a two-part set of books for the undergraduate linear algebra sequence.

The text is for the more computational course taught in most mathematics departments.

This course is based around matrices and applications.

The text begins with matrices, linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

The text offers many applications to motivate students from engineering, physics, computer science and other disiplines.

It offers a historical perspective. Proofs are presented to promote the further study of advanced mathematics.
