Features: Linear algebra is one of the important mathematical foundation courses for most majors in higher education institutions. The fourth edition of this book has been revised based on the requirements of the newly promulgated basic teaching requirements for undergraduate mathematics foundation courses (engineering and economics) in the part of linear algebra. This edition maintains the characteristics of the third edition, such as its compact length, appropriate content, clear concepts, and well-organized structure, while making adjustments in the structural arrangement of the content 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 basic knowledge of linear algebra. This book can be used as a textbook for "Linear Algebra" courses in non-mathematics majors in higher education institutions, and can also be referenced by teachers, students, and scientific and technological personnel.
