which made it very easy for me to compare. (okay it’s not THAT funny.) it was a different teacher and a different book every time. ⭐i was a math major at University of Georgia (i have graduated since then) and took intro to linear algebra several times. Quadratic equationsEach of the first seven chapters also has two projects each which range from the very simple to the involved. Applications of eigenvectors and eigenvaluesa. Geometry of linear transformations in the plane.b. The cross product of two vectors in spaceb. Area, Volume, and Equations of lines and planes4. Applications of Systems of Linear Equationsa. The following is the list of applications for each chapter:1.

Complex Vector SpacesThe book has something extra special – every chapter has a section that shows how the material just presented figures into the solution of an actual problem. The following is the table of contents:1. Has matrix algebra somehow changed in the last five years? I don’t think so. I’ve seen the sixth edition and it offers no better a presentation than this one. There is currently a sixth edition, but if you can convince your instructor, go for this edition. There is an abundance of diagrams and figures illustrating every point and example. There are theorems and proofs included, but this is very much an applied example-driven book. Knowledge of calculus is not required, although there are a couple of examples that use calculus that are clearly labeled and can be omitted without loss of continuity. It is oriented towards college sophomore and juniors who are also students of engineering or computer science. Everything is clearly laid out in detail. If you want to self-teach, I can’t think of a better companion text. ⭐I really like the layout and presentation of subject matter in this textbook. Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website: Larson received the 1996 Text and Academic Authors Association TEXTY Award for INTERACTIVE CALCULUS - a complete text on CD-ROM that was the first mainstream college textbook to be offered on the internet. He also received the 2018 Text and Academic Authors Association TEXTY Award for CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTIONS. Larson received the 2017 William Holmes McGuffey Longevity Award for PRECALCULUS and for CALCULUS. Larson has also authored numerous acclaimed textbooks, including the best-selling calculus series coauthored with Dr. He is considered the pioneer of using multimedia to enhance the learning of mathematics, having authored more than 30 software titles since 1990.
