Linear Algebra with Applications: AND Maple 10 VP

by Steven J. Leon

Linear Algebra with International Edition, 7/eFor sophomore-level or junior/senior-level first courses in Linear Algebra; assumes a Calculus 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 role geometry and visualization play in understanding linear algebra.  This edition will continue to be packaged with the ancillary ATLAST computer exercise guide, as well as new MATLAB and Maple guides, which are also free in the package. Maple 10, 1/eMaple 10 is a computer algebra system available from Maplesoft capable of performing mathematical calculations as well as programming, and 2-D and 3-D visualizations. Maple 10 offers full computing support for any activity involving mathematics, including numerical computation, symbolic computation, data visualization and technical authoring of mathematical documents. Students can enter and solve problems interactively, see what they have entered represented graphically, link their work to Excel spreadsheets, publish to the web in Maple applets and Java applets, and much more.The Maple 10 Student Edition CD is only £10 when bundled with any Pearson maths title.  If the student were to purchase Maple through Maplesoft, the price would be £80

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!

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.
