A First Course in Linear Algebra with Applications: With Applications

By Adil Yaqub and Hal G. Moore

This text intends to transform students from passive observers of mathematics to participants in it. The book employs a spiral development of ideas to blend the requirements of problem solving, analytical thinking, computational technique, and applications, and emphasizes the interplay of algebraic and geometric concepts. It includes an extensive number of exercises, ranging from routine to challenging. The Third Edition offers 40 percent new material, including manynew applications. It incorporates MATLAB to demonstrate how computational software tools can be used in this field.

Excellent text

This is an outstanding, well-written, and interesting text. Highly recommended for university coursework.

This book is great!

Yaqub's book is the best "first" book for a "first" upper divsion course in linear algebra. It provides a good transition from the freshman calculus to that of more advanced courses. The book is not terse but is verbose and easy to read. Hence, concepts jump off the page at you. This book develops mathematical maturity, which is needed in higher courses.
