Features: The "College Mathematics" series textbooks are national-level planning textbooks for the 15th Five-Year Plan in general higher education. They are compiled based on the achievements of the reform and practice of mathematics courses for non-mathematics majors in science and engineering under the "Teaching Content and Curriculum System Reform Plan for Higher Education Towards the 21st Century," as well as drawing on the experience of similar textbooks from abroad. This series aims to strengthen the foundation, enhance application, optimize holistically, and focus on long-term effects, with the following characteristics: 1. In terms of content, it emphasizes the unity of classics and modernity; 2. In terms of selection, it adheres to the unity of scientificity, systematicity, and feasibility; 3. In terms of teaching, it strives for the unity of imparting mathematical knowledge and cultivating mathematical literacy. The textbook is rich in content, with some sections marked with an asterisk () to facilitate tiered teaching or learning according to the needs of teachers or readers. The exercises in the book are divided into two categories: (A) and (B): (A) represents questions that reflect the basic teaching requirements and provide materials for mathematical experiment courses; (B) represents questions that enhance, expand, and have certain comprehensive application properties. This series consists of five volumes: "Calculus (Upper, Middle, and Lower)," "Linear Algebra," and "Random Mathematics." This book is "Linear Algebra," covering topics such as matrices and vectors, determinants, systems of linear equations, and an introduction to Jordan forms. It is suitable for students of non-mathematics majors in science and engineering at general higher education institutions, as well as for reference by engineering and technical personnel.
