Overview

Available with WebAssign!

Building upon the sequence of topics of the popular 5th Edition, Linear Algebra with Applications, Alternate Seventh Edition provides instructors with an alternative presentation of course material.  In this edition earlier chapters cover systems of linear equations, matrices, and determinates.  The vector space Rn is introduced in chapter 4, leading directly into general vector spaces and linear transformations.  This order of topics is ideal for those preparing to use linear equations and matrices in their own fields.  New exercises and modern, real-world applications allow students to test themselves on relevant key material and a MATLAB manual, included as an appendix, provides 29 sections of computational problems.
