Product Description
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.

About The Author
Dr. W. Keith Nicholson earned his undergraduate Degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Alberta, and received his Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1970. He then moved to the University of Calgary, and has been a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics since 1979, where he has been carrying out research in a branch of algebra called "Ring Theory". His continuing interest in teaching undergraduate students has led to another book in Linear Algebra (now in its third edition), a text in Abstract Algebra (second edition), and the creation (with Professor Claude Laflamme), of an internet tutorial for Linear Algebra called ILAW (Interactive Linear Algebra on the Web). Keith is married and has two grown sons.
