Features: The linear algebra and linear programming sections of this textbook focus on elementary row operations as the main thread, introducing the basic concepts of linear algebra and linear programming while emphasizing the development of computational skills. It also appropriately incorporates exercises in inductive reasoning and logical thinking. The probability theory section covers random events and their probabilities, random variables and their distributions, and the mathematical characteristics of random variables. It also introduces the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, training students' understanding of random phenomena and laying a foundation for future studies in mathematical statistics. Each chapter of the textbook is accompanied by exercises, divided into three types: multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and problem-solving questions, for use in teaching. The answers are provided in the accompanying supplementary textbook. This textbook can be independently selected by various higher education institutions for economics and management disciplines based on their teaching needs. For a broad range of economics and management professionals, this book is highly beneficial in enriching mathematical knowledge and mastering quantitative analytical methods.
