Linear Algebra

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

For courses in Advanced Linear Algebra.

This top-selling, theorem-proof text presents a careful treatment of the principle topics of linear algebra, and illustrates the power of the subject through a variety of applications. It emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between linear transformations and matrices, but states theorems in the more general infinite-dimensional case where appropriate.
