About The Book

This text is an excellent resource for advanced undergraduates and graduate students looking for a comprehensive introduction to linear algebra. Written by David B. Damiano, it presents the key concepts of linear algebra with clarity and rigor. The text emphasizes an understanding of the logical structure of the subject and its wide applicability in various fields of mathematics.

The book starts with the definition of general vector spaces and linear mappings, which forms the foundation for all subsequent developments. This approach ensures that readers have a solid context and motivation for each new computational technique. Along with the theoretical discussions, students are introduced to proofs and abstract problem-solving from the very beginning, making this book a great way to practice applying learned concepts.

Each chapter includes:

• A clear introduction to set the stage

• A summary to reinforce the key points

• Supplementary exercises for practice

The book concludes with two helpful appendices and solutions to selected exercises, providing students with additional support and resources.
