商品描述

Linear algebra is a fundamental area of mathematics, and is arguably the most powerful mathematical tool ever developed. It is a core topic of study within fields as diverse as: business, economics, engineering, physics, computer science, ecology, sociology, demography and genetics.

For an example of linear algebra at work, one needs to look no further than the Google search engine, which relies upon linear algebra to rank the results of a search with respect to relevance.

The strength of the text is in the large number of examples and the step-by-step explanation of each topic as it is introduced. It is compiled in a way that allows distance learning, with explicit solutions to set problems freely available online. The miscellaneous exercises at the end of each chapter comprise questions from past exam papers from various universities, helping to reinforce the reader's confidence. Also included, generally at the beginning of sections, are short historical biographies of the leading players in the field of linear algebra to provide context for the topics covered.

The dynamic and engaging style of the book includes frequent question and answer sections to test the reader's understanding of the methods introduced, rather than requiring rote learning. When first encountered, the subject can appear abstract and students will sometimes struggle to see its relevance; to counter this, the book also contains interviews with key people who use linear algebra in practice, in both professional and academic life. It will appeal to undergraduate students in mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

線性代數是數學的一個基礎領域,可以說是迄今為止最強大的數學工具。它是商業、經濟學、工程學、物理學、計算機科學、生態學、社會學、人口統計學和遺傳學等領域的核心研究主題。

舉個線性代數應用的例子,我們只需看看谷歌搜索引擎,它依賴線性代數來根據相關性對搜索結果進行排名。

這本書的優勢在於大量的例子和逐步解釋每個主題的方式。它以遠程學習的方式編寫,並提供了在線明確解答設定問題的解決方案。每章末尾的綜合練習包括來自不同大學過去考試試卷的問題,有助於加強讀者的信心。此外,通常在各節的開頭,還包括線性代數領域領先人物的簡短歷史傳記,以提供相關背景。

這本書以動態和引人入勝的風格編寫,經常包含問答部分,以測試讀者對所介紹方法的理解,而不是要求機械記憶。初次接觸時,這個主題可能顯得抽象,學生有時會難以看到其相關性;為了解決這個問題,該書還包含了與在職和學術生活中實際應用線性代數的關鍵人物的訪談。這本書將吸引數學、物理科學和工程學的本科生。
