Overview
Linear Algebra with Applications is your guide to understanding the techniques and applications of linear algebra. Using straightforward language and emphasizing linear transformations as a unifying theme, the text makes complex topics clear and relatable. Instead of relying on abstract exposition, the author offers an abundance of examples and activities to get you hands-on with key concepts. The problems, exercises, and applications provided will help you assess your understanding and master the material.
For the 5th Edition, the text has been thoroughly reviewed and edited, with care to preserve Bretscher's signature, helpful organization. The exercise sets included are broad and varied and reflect the author's creativity and passion for this course.
