Features: This book is revised based on the edition. It consists of eight chapters and primarily covers matrices and their elementary transformations, determinants, geometric spaces, n-dimensional vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, quadratic forms and quadratic surfaces, linear spaces and linear transformations. The book presents a reprocessed treatment of traditional content in linear algebra and spatial analytical geometry, with particular emphasis on the integration of algebra and geometry. Elementary transformations are used as a comprehensive computational tool and an important theoretical deduction instrument throughout the book. A large number of applied examples are selected to facilitate its use in teaching reform. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate students in engineering and other non-mathematics-related disciplines.
