Features: Linear algebra is one of the important foundational mathematics courses for most majors in higher education institutions. This fourth edition has been revised based on the requirements of the newly issued Basic Teaching Requirements for Undergraduate Mathematics Foundational Courses (Engineering and Economics Majors) for linear algebra. This edition retains the characteristics of the third edition—concise length, appropriate content, clear concepts, and well-organized structure—while adjusting the content structure to better facilitate teaching. The book consists of seven chapters: Determinants and Their Computation, Matrices, n-Dimensional Vectors, Rank of Vector Groups and Linear Equations, Linear Spaces and Linear Transformations, Similarity of Matrices and Diagonal Matrices, and Quadratic Forms, covering the fundamental knowledge of linear algebra.
This book can be used as a textbook for "Linear Algebra" courses in non-mathematics majors at higher education institutions, as well as a reference for teachers, students, and scientific and technological personnel.
