Synopsis
This book is an introduction to linear algebra, designed as a textbook for upper-division courses. It includes the basic results on vector spaces over fields, determinants, the theory of a single linear transformation, and inner product spaces. Proofs of all the main theorems are given, with numerical examples, exercises, and applications to geometry, group theory, and differential equations.

Review
Fourth Edition
C.W. Curtis
Linear Algebra
An Introductory Approach.
"This book is an important addition to the literature of linear algebra. It would be a pleasure to use it for a one-semester or two-quarter course intended for serious (and talented) students. This book deserves to be as influential with the current generation of mathematics students as was Halmos’ Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces with this reviewer’s generation, 45 years ago."―MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
