Elementary Linear Algebra with Applications (Classic Version), 9th Edition

Strong pedagogical framework.

• Provides students with a strong understanding by gradually introducing topics that connect abstract ideas to concrete foundations.

General level of applications–Presents applications that are suited to a more general audience, rather than for a strongly science-oriented one.

• Enables instructors to use this text for a greater variety of class levels.

Comprehensive supplements–Includes a Student Solutions Manual, an Instructor's Solutions Manual, and a Companion Website.

• Gives both students and instructors valuable course support.

Matrix multiplication in a separate section.

• Gives students more careful coverage of this topic.

Matrix Transformations .

• Introduces geometric applications at a very early stage.

Computer Graphics –Gives an application of matrix transformations.

• Gives students this application earlier, illustrating the concept more fully.

• Extends and generalizes for students the concepts of computer graphics.

Correlation Coefficient –Gives an application of dot product to statistics in a new section.

Search engines–Includes Section 7.9, Dominant Eigenvalue and Principal Component Analysis, and includes several applications of this material.

• Discusses for students the popular search engine Google®, and how it uses the dominant eigenvalue of an enormously large matrix to search the web.

Eigenvalue development includes the complex case.

• Provides a more unified approach.

Appendix on an introduction to proofs.

• Eases students into the abstract aspects of linear algebra.

MATLAB M-files.

• Gives students the more modern versions of these files.

Key terms listed at the end of each section.

Chapter review at the end of each chapter–Includes review True/False questions and Chapter Quiz.

Answers to odd-numbered exercises–Available in a section at the back of the text.
