Basic Linear Algebra is a text for first year students leading from concrete examples to abstract theorems, via tutorial-type exercises.
One of SUMS' most popular and best-selling titles, this book covers the most important basics of any first course on linear algebra. This new and revised edition also features additional exercises, new material on Cramer's rule and an extra chapter on computer assistance.
From the reviews:
"It embodies a beautiful, concise and precise treatment of the subject, with succint numerical and algebra worked examples at the right points... an excellent textbook which is also eminently suitable for self-study..." Zentralblatt MATH
"This is the second edition of a text for first-year students which covers the main themes of linear algebra in a succinct and readable way. ? The book is well-written, with a very high standard of proof-reading, and there are full answers to all the exercises ? . It should be welcomed as an excellent introductory textbook which could be used either for self-study and to complement a course of lectures."
