W. Keith Nicholson9780534936662, 0534936660

This successful text is an introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of linear algebra for first- or second-year students who have a working knowledge of high school algebra (calculus is not a prerequisite). The author maintains a balance among the computational skills, theory, and applications of linear algebra–while keeping the level suitable for beginning students–and offers a multitude of examples and exercises to help students master the material.
