978-0-367-63550-3 (ISBN)
Linear algebra provides the essential mathematical tools to tackle all the problems in Science. Introduction to Linear Algebra is primarily aimed at students in applied fields (e.g. Computer Science and Engineering), providing them with a concrete, rigorous approach to face and solve various types of problems for the applications of their interest. This book offers a straightforward introduction to linear algebra that requires a minimal mathematical background to read and engage with.
Features
Presented in a brief, informative and engaging style
Suitable for a wide broad range of undergraduates
Contains many worked examples and exercises
Rita Fioresi and Marta Morigi are professors at the University of Bologna and teach linear algebra courses to students of all majors. Their research publications are centered into algebra with some applications (R. Fioresi Lie theory & machine learning, M. Morigi Group theory).
