Features: Linear algebra is an important component of university mathematics. Compared to calculus, many beginners find it seemingly more difficult to learn. The main reasons for this are two-fold. First, the research objects and methods of linear algebra mostly lack a clear connection with the content studied in high school, making it unable to have the natural continuity like calculus. Moreover, many concepts in linear algebra do not arise as intuitively as those in calculus. Second, the structural framework of linear algebra has a certain degree of variability, and the content of each part has a certain independence. To help beginners organize their thoughts, grasp the key points, and systematically master the main content of linear algebra, we have compiled this learning guide for linear algebra. The book not only analyzes the key and difficult points of each part but also organizes the main concepts and conclusions. Additionally, typical examples are provided for each part, along with self-assessment exercises, which can help beginners check their learning progress simultaneously. The main part of the book is dedicated to listing nearly 300 exercises, all of which come with detailed solutions. These exercises vary in difficulty, include theoretical calculations, cover comprehensive content, and are of great reference value. This book can be used as a supplementary textbook for the "Linear Algebra" published by Beijing Institute of Technology Press, or it can stand alone as a teaching aid for linear algebra courses.
