Product Description

This text has a highly applied and computational focus. It combines the important underlying theory discussions with examples from electrical engineering, computer science, physics, biology, and economics. There are twice as many examples in this edition as there were in previous editions. Many new exercises appear in the sections and in the chapter reviews, especially exercises that are simple but instructive. An expanded list of computer codes in an appendix and more computer-solvable exercises in the text reflect Strang's interest in computational linear algebra.

Customer Reviews

Very good book for learning more about linear algebra.
This book is perhaps not suitable for a complete novice to linear algebra, but for those who have some previous knowledge it is invaluable. The book covers almost everything one might want to know about matrices, Gaussian elimination, vector spaces etc. Mr Strang is not only a mathematician but also a very good writer. This book is highly recommended.

Outstanding book.
Great 'second' text. Clarifies connections between linear algebra and other branches of mathematics. Strang takes the reader through the development of the concpets rather than just presenting them.
