	Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction (with CD-ROM)
	by David Poole Sales Rank: 139897	List Price: ~~$183.95~~ $180.27 At Amazon on 12-5-2008

Hardcover: 736 pages Publisher: Brooks Cole; 2 edition January 24, 2005 Language: English ISBN-10: 0534998453 ISBN-13: 978-0534998455 Product Dimensions: 9.9 x 7.6 x 1.2 inches Shipping Weight: 3.3 pounds *Product Description* David Poole's innovative book emphasizes vectors and geometric intuition from the start and better prepares students to make the transition from the computational aspects of the course to the theoretical. Poole covers vectors and vector geometry first to enable students to visualize the mathematics while they are doing matrix operations. With a concrete understanding of vector geometry, students are able to visualize and understand the meaning of the calculations that they will encounter. By seeing the mathematics and understanding the underlying geometry, students develop mathematical maturity and can think abstractly when they reach vector spaces. Throughout the text, Poole's direct conversational writing style connects with students, and an abundant selection of applications from a broad range of disciplines clearly demonstrates the relevance of linear algebra. *About The Author* David Poole is Professor of Mathematics at Trent University and currently Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning). He began his teaching career at Brandon University in 1983-1984 and then joined the faculty of Trent University. Dr. Poole has won Trent University¿s ¿Symons Award for Excellence in Teaching¿ (the university's top teaching award), three merit awards for teaching excellence, 2002 Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations Teaching Award (the top university teaching award in the province), and 2003 3M Teaching Fellowship (the top university teaching award in Canada, sponsored by 3M Canada Ltd.) Dr. Poole¿s research interests include discrete mathematics, ring theory, and mathematics education. He received his B.Sc. from Acadia University in 1976 before earning his M.Sc. (1977) and Ph.D. (1984) from McMaster University.
