Description for A Concise Text on Advanced Linear Algebra
Paperback. This engaging, well-motivated textbook helps advanced undergraduate students to grasp core concepts and reveals applications in mathematics and beyond. Num Pages: 331 pages, 390 exercises. BIC Classification: PBF. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 228 x 152 x 19. Weight in Grams: 476.
This engaging textbook for advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduates covers the core subjects in linear algebra. The author motivates the concepts by drawing clear links to applications and other important areas, such as differential topology and quantum mechanics. The book places particular emphasis on integrating ideas from analysis wherever appropriate. For example, the notion of determinant is shown to appear from calculating the index of a vector field which leads to a self-contained proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, and the Cayley–Hamilton theorem is established by recognizing the fact that the set of complex matrices of distinct eigenvalues ...
