Features: This book is a national-level planning textbook for the 15th Five-Year Plan, revised based on the original textbook (published by Higher Education Press in 2000). It reprocesses the traditional content of linear algebra and spatial analytical geometry, with particular attention to the integration of algebra and geometry. It uses elementary transformations as a comprehensive computational and theoretical deduction tool throughout the book, and selects a large number of applied examples to facilitate use in teaching reform. The content includes matrices and their elementary transformations, determinants, geometric spaces, n-dimensional vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, quadratic forms and quadratic surfaces, linear spaces and linear transformations, as well as applied examples. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate students in engineering and other non-mathematics majors.
