Linear Algebra With Applications

by Steven J. Leon

This thorough and accessible book from one of the leading figures in the field of linear algebra provides readers with both a challenging and broad understanding of linear algebra. The author infuses key concepts with their modern practical applications to offer readers examples of how mathematics is used in the real world. Topics such as linear systems theory, matrix theory, and vector space theory are integrated with real world applications to give a clear understanding of the material and the application of the concepts to solve real world problems. Each chapter contains integrated worked examples and chapter tests. The book stresses the important role geometry and visualization play in understanding linear algebra.

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).
