Features: This book is a supplementary teaching material written for a wide range of students, aligned with the basic requirements of the course. It aims to help students fully understand, master, and excel in the subject. It is hoped that this book will help readers deepen their understanding of the fundamental concepts of linear algebra, thereby mastering problem-solving methods and techniques, and ultimately achieving the goal of reviewing and consolidating teaching content while cultivating analytical and problem-solving skills. Linear algebra is a foundational course that studies the theory and methods of linear relationships in finite spaces. Through studying this book, readers can deepen their understanding of the fundamental concepts of linear algebra, master problem-solving methods and techniques, and achieve the goal of reviewing and consolidating teaching content while cultivating analytical and problem-solving skills. The book is divided into 6 chapters, covering determinants, matrices and their operations, vectors and vector spaces, systems of linear equations, similar matrices and quadratic forms, and linear spaces and linear transformations. Each chapter is structured as follows: Basic Knowledge Points, which provides a detailed summary of the chapter's key concepts, emphasizing connections between chapters to facilitate review and summary of the content; Problem Analysis, which includes numerous examples related to the key concepts, with a special selection of postgraduate entrance examination questions for detailed solution analysis. Typical examples are explained from different perspectives using multiple methods, focusing on the understanding of basic concepts, training in various types of fundamental problems, and developing comprehensive problem-solving abilities. This book can serve as a supplementary teaching material or reference book for undergraduate students in science and engineering majors of higher education institutions taking the linear algebra course. It can also be used as a reference book for postgraduate entrance examination candidates.
