Linear Algebra with Applications

by Steven J. Leon

This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value-this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before you purchase, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products. This book is for sophomore-level or junior/senior-level first courses in linear algebra and assumes calculus as a prerequisite. This thorough and accessible text, from one of the leading figures in the use of technology in linear algebra, gives students a challenging and broad understanding of the subject. The author infuses key concepts with their modern practical applications to offer students examples of how mathematics is used in the real world. Each chapter contains integrated worked examples and chapter tests. The book stresses the important roles geometry and visualization play in understanding linear algebra.

Mostly bland and unsatisfying explanations

A very good undergraduate book dealing with Linear Algebra. The text is very clear on the subject. But, the real strength of this book is the examples is using the MatLab computer program. I have been able to duplicate the problems using Octave computer program.

I really love this book which is maybe saying a lot considering most hate math, and math books.

This book helped me fall in love with linear algebra and matrices.
It's really interesting!

Because I have to!

Better ones out there (Hoffman and Kunze, Strang, etc).

very good algebra textbook. If your professor gives you a choice between books, choose this one.
