This textbook invites students to discover abstract ideas in linear algebra within the context of applications. Diffusion welding and radiography, the two central applications, are introduced early on and used throughout to frame the practical uses of important linear algebra concepts. Students will learn these methods through explorations, which involve making conjectures and answering open-ended questions. By approaching the subject in this way, new avenues for learning the material emerge: For example, vector spaces are introduced early as the appropriate setting for the applied problems covered; and an alternative, determinant-free method for computing eigenvalues is also illustrated. In addition to the two main applications, the authors also describe possible pathways to other applications, which fall into three main areas: Data and image analysis (including machine learning); dynamical modeling; and optimization and optimal design. Several appendices are included as well, oneof which offers an insightful walkthrough of proof techniques. Instructors will also find an outline for how to use the book in a course. Additional resources can be accessed on the authors’ website, including code, data sets, and other helpful material. Application-Inspired Linear Algebra will motivate and immerse undergraduate students taking a first course in linear algebra, and will provide instructors with an indispensable, application-first approach.

About the Author
Heather A. Moon received her PhD in Mathematics at Washington State University. She spent 8 years as an Assistant/Associate Professor of Mathematics at liberal arts colleges, where she mentored numerous undergraduate research projects in data and image analysis. Currently, she is pursuing her scientific interests, in the doctoral program in Physics at Washington State University, where she is excited to use her expertise in mathematics and data and image analysis to study the world around us.
Thomas J. Asaki received his Ph.D. in Physics at Washington State University. He spent 13 years as a postdoc and technical staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory exploring inverse problems, image and data analysis methods, nondestructive acoustic testing and related optimization problems. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Washington State University where, since 2008, he has enjoyed continuing research and helping students discover richness in applied mathematics.
Marie Snipes received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan. Prior to her doctoral studies, she spent four years in the US Air Force as a data analyst. She is currently an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Kenyon College, where she regularly teaches inquiry-based courses and mentors undergraduate research projects. Her research interests include geometric function theory, analysis in metric spaces, and applications of these areas to data problems.
The authors are co-creators of the IMAGEMath Project (www.imagemath.org), bringing image and data applications (of calculus of variations, PDE's, and linear algebra) into the undergraduate curriculum.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
