Elementary Linear Algebra 11th Revised edition [Hardback]

Anton presents this linear algebra textbook for introductory undergraduate courses, organized so as to enable skipping over portions that require calculus background. The text begins with linear equations, matrices, and determinants, then moves onto Euclidean vector spaces, Rn, and general vector spaces. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, inner product spaces, diagonalization and quadratic forms take up the middle of the book. Finally general linear transformations are treated, and numerical methods are discussed in the last chapter. This edition is updated to introduce linear transformations earlier, in a section at the end of the matrix chapter, and contains new exercises, an expanded appendix on proofs, and some reorganization and rewriting for flow.
