Features: To quickly adapt to the demands of the information age, optimize traditional teaching content using information technology, and strengthen the cultivation of applied mathematical skills, we have compiled this new textbook, "Practical Linear Algebra," based on years of teaching experience in linear algebra. The book consists of six chapters, with most of the content in the first five chapters also applicable to relevant programs in higher vocational and technical colleges.
"Practical Linear Algebra" is one of the outcomes of the Tianjin Municipal Higher Education Teaching Reform Project "Research and Practice on the Integration of Information Technology and Economic Mathematics Courses" in the early 21st century.
During the writing process, we strive for clear concepts, simple methods, practical and computer-based approaches, and the use of concrete examples to explain abstract concepts. A new section on "Computer-Assisted Computation" using modern information technology has been added to each chapter, enabling readers to solve more complex computational problems with the help of the Mathematica software, allowing them to personally experience the joy of learning and applying mathematics. In the appendix, we provide some comprehensive examples to help readers improve their ability to analyze and solve real-world problems.
The text portion of this book was compiled by: Zheng Changming (Chapter 1, the first four sections of Chapter 2, and the appendix), Cheng Wei (the last three sections of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3), Wei Jialin (Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 6).
The CD portion of this book was compiled by: Wang Liqin (course objectives, mathematician introductions, electronic teaching plans for Chapter 2, introduction to Math4.0 courseware, self-assessment questions, and case studies), Li Naihua (electronic teaching plans for Chapter 1 and case studies), Cheng Wei (electronic teaching plans for Chapter 3 and Chapter 4), Zhao Fenxia (electronic teaching plans for Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and detailed solutions to postgraduate entrance examination questions), Li Tian (detailed solutions to exercises), and Li Taochun participated in some text input work.
During the writing process of this book, we received support from relevant leaders and teachers of Tianjin University of Commerce. We extend our gratitude to them here. Due to our limited capabilities, if there are any shortcomings, we sincerely welcome criticism and corrections from readers.
