A First Course in Linear Algebra

A First Course in Linear Algebra

A First Course in Linear Algebra is an introductory textbook aimed at college-level sophomores and juniors. Typically such a student will have taken calculus, but this is not a prerequisite. The book begins with systems of linear equations, then covers matrix algebra, before taking up finite-dimensional vector spaces in full generality. The final chapter covers matrix representations of linear transformations, through diagonalization, change of basis and Jordan canonical form. PDF versions are available to download for printing or on-screen viewing, an online version is available, and physical copies may be purchased from the print-on-demand service at Lulu.com.
