Features: This book is written to adapt to the teaching models of the 21st century and the demand for linear algebra in modern technology, following the revised basic requirements for "Linear Algebra" by the Teaching Guidance Committee of Mathematical Foundation Courses for Non-Mathematics Majors of the Ministry of Education in 2004. The book is divided into eight chapters, including determinants, matrices and their operations, spatial analytical geometry and vector algebra, n-dimensional vectors, systems of linear equations, similar matrices and quadratic forms, linear spaces and linear transformations, and an introduction to basic algebraic structures. Each chapter consists of three parts: basic content, exercises, and experiments and improvements, to meet the needs of tiered teaching for students of different levels. The book integrates spatial analytical geometry with linear algebra and adds mathematical experiments, emphasizing the essence of modern technology in its content. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching material for science, engineering, economics, management, and other majors in higher education institutions, or as a reference for scientific and technological personnel and self-learners.
