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 basic requirements for "Linear Algebra" newly formulated by the Ministry of Education's Teaching Guidance Committee for Mathematical Foundation Courses in Non-Mathematics Majors in 2004. The book is divided into eight chapters, including Determinants, Matrices and Their Operations, Space Analytic 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 Space Analytic Geometry with Linear Algebra and includes 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 disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for technical personnel and self-learners.
