Synopsis

This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.

Elementary Linear Algebra 11^th edition gives an elementary treatment of linear algebra that is suitable for a first course for undergraduate students. The aim is to present the fundamentals of linear algebra in the clearest possible way; pedagogy is the main consideration. Calculus is not a prerequisite, but there are clearly labeled exercises and examples (which can be omitted without loss of continuity) for students who have studied calculus. The 11^th edition helps readers perceive linear algebra as a cohesive subject rather than a collection of definitions and techniques by including proof sketches and visual aids for visual learners.
