Elementary Linear Algebra 10th edition gives an elementary treatment of linear algebra that is suitable for a first course for undergraduate students. ... The aim is to present the fundamentals of linear algebra in the clearest possible way; pedagogy is the main consideration.  Calculus is not a prerequisite, but there are clearly labeled exercises and examples (which can be omitted without loss of continuity) for students who have studied calculus.   Technology also is not required, but for those who would like to use MATLAB, Maple, or Mathematica, or calculators with linear algebra capabilities, exercises are included at the ends of chapters that allow for further exploration using those tools.

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.

The hallmark of this text has been the authors' clear, careful, and concise presentation of linear algebra so that students can fully understand how the... mathematics works. The text balances theory with examples, applications, and geometric intuition.

This classic treatment of linear algebra presents the fundamentals in the clearest possible way, examining basic ideas by means of computational... examples and geometrical interpretation. It proceeds from familiar concepts to the unfamiliar, from the concrete to the abstract. Readers consistently praise this outstanding text for its expository style and clarity of presentation.

This book presents the basic ideas of linear algebra in a manner that users will find understandable. It offers a fine balance between... abstraction/theory and computational skills, and gives readers an excellent opportunity to learn how to handle abstract concepts. Included in this comprehensive and easy-to-follow manual are these topics: linear equations and matrices; solving linear systems; real vector spaces; inner product spaces; linear transformations and matrices; determinants; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; differential equations; and MATLAB for linear algebra. Because this book gives real applications for linear algebraic basic ideas and computational techniques, it is useful as a reference work for mathematicians and those in field of computer science.

This edition strives to develop students' geometric intuition as a foundation for learning the concepts of span and linear independence. Applications... are integrated throughout to illustrate the mathematics and to motivate the student. Numerical ideas and concepts using the computer are interspersed throughout the text; instructors can use these at their discretion. This textbook allows the instructor considerable flexibility to choose the applications and numerical topics to be covered according to his or her tastes and the students' needs.

Linear programming finds the least expensive way to meet given needs with available resources. Its results are used in every area of engineering and... commerce: agriculture, oil refining, banking, and air transport. Authors Kolman and Beck present the basic notions of linear programming and illustrate how they are used to solve important common problems. The software on the included disk leads students step-by-step through the calculations. The Second Edition is completely revised and provides additional review material on linear algebra as well as complete coverage of elementary linear programming. Other topics covered include: the Duality Theorem; transportation problems; the assignment problem; and the maximal flow problem. New figures and exercises are provided and the authors have updated all computer applications. The companion website on www.elsevierdirect.com contains the student-oriented linear programming code SMPX, written by Professor Evar Nering of Arizona State University. The authors also recommend inexpensive linear programming software for personal computers. Please note the previous printing included a disk attached to the back of the book. The material is now only available on the companion website - http://www.elsevierdirect.com/product.jsp?isbn=9780124179103* More review material on linear algebra * Elementary linear programming covered more efficiently * Presentation improved, especially for the duality theorem, transportation problems, the assignment problem, and the maximal flow problem * New figures and exercises * Computer applications updated * Companion website on www.elsevierdirect.com with the student-oriented linear programming code SMPX, written by Professor Evar Nering of Arizona State University * New guide to inexpensive linear programming software for personal computers Please note the previous printing included a disk attached to the back of the book.
