Features: Linear algebra is one of the important foundational courses for engineering and management majors. This book is compiled in accordance with the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of Engineering Mathematics Courses" issued by the Ministry of Education. The first seven chapters cover determinants, matrices, n-dimensional vectors and linear equations, linear spaces, diagonalization of matrices, real quadratic forms, and linear transformations, introducing the fundamental knowledge of linear algebra. The eighth chapter provides the computer implementation of basic linear algebra problems, combining the fundamental knowledge of linear algebra with computer technology to enable students to use mathematical software to solve some practical linear algebra problems. Instructions for using the Mathematica software are provided at the end of the book. This book can be used as a textbook for "Linear Algebra" courses in science and engineering, economics, management, and other disciplines in higher vocational colleges, as well as a reference for teachers and students.
