LINEAR ALGEBRA

ISBN: 9781516502554 Géneros: PB Sinópsis: A basic understanding of linear algebra is integral to success in practicing science engineering and finance as well as achieving fluency in the language of mathematics Linear algebra has countless applications yet most standard textbooks in the discipline make it difficult for students to learn linear algebra in a single semester Linear Algebra is a streamlined singlesemester textbook developed for students in the first two years of college studies  The book makes use of an informal narrative structure blended with concrete applications to introduce students to linear systems of equations vectors and abstract vector spaces matrices and determinants The text also covers eigenvalues and eigenvectors inner product spaces and complex numbers  Developed to build an intuitive understanding of the subject matter in a relatively short presentation while also helping students recognize why linear algebra is important and how to master it Linear Algebra is appropriate for any course involving linear algebra instruction including those in engineering and the sciencesPatrick Zulkowski holds both a PhD in mathematics from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in physics from the University of California Berkeley where he is currently serving as a postdoctoral researcher in refined optimization techniques for finitetime nonequilibrium transitions of mesoscopic and quantum systems Dr Zulkowski is also a faculty member at Berkeley City College His courses include algebra for statistics precalculus calculus linear algebra and differential equations He has written on numerous topics for the journal Physics Review
