Linear Algebra Author:Roger C. Baker After thirty years of teaching, the author, a number theorist, has produced this one semester first course in linear algebra, not necessarily for math majors. Students will enjoy such a book that can be read from cover to cover in a semester; instructors will find every hoped-for result proved. Abstraction enters gradually. Students learn to use... more » inner product in R^2, then R^3. Most of the work is done in R^n. In the last chapter, when students are ready, vector spaces, including C^n, appear. There are nice applications such as electrical circuits, Markov chains... All examples can be done by hand. No time lost learning software!« less
