About The Book

Essential Linear Algebra with Applications by Titu Andreescu provides a comprehensive and accessible approach to the theory and applications of linear algebra. Rooted in a pedagogically successful problem-solving approach, this book fills a gap in the literature, bridging the divide between elementary texts and those too advanced for a wider audience. The work thoroughly covers the theoretical foundations of vector spaces, linear equations, matrix algebra, eigenvectors, and orthogonality, while also emphasizing practical applications in fields such as biology, economics, computer graphics, electrical engineering, cryptography, and political science.

This 491-page textbook is ideal for an introduction to linear algebra, offering extensive exercises and well-chosen applications that also make it suitable for more advanced courses at the junior or senior undergraduate level. Furthermore, it serves as a supplementary problem book, reference, or self-study manual for professional scientists and mathematicians. With a complete bibliography and index, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers who require a strong foundation in linear algebra theory, problem-solving techniques, and model-building. It is the perfect bridge between pure and applied mathematics, as well as the natural and social sciences.
