More Description
A First Course in Linear Algebra, 2e is a coherent, self-contained introductory course on linear algebra, especially suited to first year students fresh out of school and mature age students returning to study after a period of absence.
Using simple examples with deep connections, the book includes brief but important historical contexts and links with calculus and other topics. With an emphasis on reflective learning, it introduces novel teaching/learning principles such as the Plateau Principle, the Conjugation Principle and a Proof Template, which is an excellent aid to the development of proof technique.
