Linear Methods: A General Education Course
ΠΠ° Π΅-ΠΊΠ½ΠΈΠ³Π°Π²Π°
Many relevant uses of linear algebra in todayβs world are illustrated, including applications involving business, economics, elementary graph theory, Markov chains, linear regression and least-squares polynomials, geometric transformations, and elementary physics. The authors have included proofs of various important elementary theorems and properties which provide readers with the reasoning behind these results.
Features:
- Written for a general education core course in introductory mathematics
- Introduces elementary linear algebra concepts to non-mathematics majors
- Provides an informal introduction to elementary proofs involving matrices and vectors
- Includes useful applications from linear algebra related to business, graph theory, regression, and elementary physics
