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 flexibile coverage of practical
applications, exploring a comprehensive range of topics.
