Linear Algebra: Theory and Applications
Ward Cheney & David Kincaid
Jones and Bartlett (c) 2009
Book Features
This book acquaints students of science and engineering with
linear algebra for solving the problems that will arise in their careers.
It also gives students an opportunity to hone their skills in
programming and problem solving.
- Numerous solved examples, using either Matlab, Maple, or Mathematica,
illustrate just some of the powerful software tools
available for symbolic, numeric, and graphical results.
- Three categories of exercises enhance the text's versatility:
"General Exercises", "True-False Exercises",
"Multiple-Choice Exercises", and "Computer Exercises."
The first category
contains more than ??? exercises in analysis that require
pencil, paper, and possibly a calculator.
The second category includes about 450 exercises that
involve writing a program and testing it on the computer.
- Suggested student projects stimulate students to go
outside the text for additional information. Such
projects provide experience in discovering additional
topics in linear algebra.
Summaries at the end of each section have been added.

FEATURES:
-
Numerous examples and exercises are solved using either computations by
hand,
by using a calculator, or utilizing mathematical packages such as
Matlab, Maple, and Mathematica.
-
Exercises are supplied in abundance to
enhance the books versatility.
They are divided into two categories:
Exercises and Computer Exercises.
In the first category, there are
more than 800 exercises in analysis that require pencil, paper, and
possibly a calculator.
In the second category, there are approximately 500
exercises that involve writing a program and testing it on a computer.
-
Throughout the book there are some computer exercises designated as
Student Research Projects, which
suggest opportunities for students to explore topics beyond the
scope of the book.
