Features: This book is a national-level planning teaching material for the 15th Five-Year Plan of general higher education. Compiler Professor Li Shangzhi is a recipient of the First Teaching Master Award and the Baogang Education Fund Outstanding Teacher Special Award, with extensive teaching experience. This book is a culmination of years of teaching and research. Its main feature is a novel concept and unique writing style. The book presents the content of linear algebra in a new model, with the basic idea of not starting with definitions but rather developing the course content from important problems, introducing concepts and definitions step by step based on the need to solve these problems, and providing methods and techniques. The main purpose of this book is to allow students to experience the process of scientific research while learning fundamental courses. Another feature of the book is the close integration of geometry and algebra in its writing style. In fact, linear algebra is a course where "space is the body and matrices are the application." This book consistently revolves around the close integration of space and matrices, training students to become familiar with using both geometric and algebraic languages to describe and solve problems, and to skillfully translate between these two languages. With profound teaching and research experience, the author handles this writing style with ease. This book is suitable for science students and can also be used as a textbook or reference book for engineering, agriculture, forestry, medicine, and other disciplines.
