Linear Algebra constitutes a foundation course for those specializing in the fields of mathematics, engineering and science. The course normally takes one semester, but for those needing a more rigorous study of the subject, it involve up to two semesters.
This book is based on the lecture notes given for the linear algebra course at the Department of Mathematics in Wuhan University.
Contents:
- Determinants
- Systems of Linear Equations
- Matrix Operations
- Quadratic Forms
- Matrices Similar to Diagonal Matrices
- Jordan Canonical Form of Matrices
- Linear Spaces and Linear Transformations
- Inner Product Spaces
Readership: First and second year students in mathematics, engineering and science.
