Provides students with a detailed algebraic and geometric understanding of linear vector functions
Emphasizes both computational and conceptual skills
Uses the Gauss-Jordan algorithm to argue proofs-not just to solve linear systems
Presents the interpretation of matrix/vector multiplication as a linear combination of matrix columns
Focuses on the subspaces of Rn, orthogonality, and diagonalization
Includes exercises in each section, totaling over 500 throughout the book
Summary

The Essentials of a First Linear Algebra Course and More

Linear Algebra, Geometry and Transformation provides students with a solid geometric grasp of linear transformations. It stresses the linear case of the inverse function and rank theorems and gives a careful geometric treatment of the spectral theorem.

An Engaging Treatment of the Interplay among Algebra, Geometry, and Mappings

The text starts with basic questions about images and pre-images of mappings, injectivity, surjectivity, and distortion. In the process of answering these questions in the linear setting, the book covers all the standard topics for a first course on linear algebra, including linear systems, vector geometry, matrix algebra, subspaces, independence, dimension, orthogonality, eigenvectors, and diagonalization.

A Smooth Transition to the Conceptual Realm of Higher Mathematics

This book guides students on a journey from computational mathematics to conceptual reasoning. It takes them from simple ´identity verification´ proofs to constructive and contrapositive arguments. It will prepare them for future studies in algebra, multivariable calculus, and the fields that use them.
