Book Description

Based on lectures given at University of California, Davis, this text constitutes a substantial, abstract introduction to linear algebra.

This book aims to bridge the gap between the mainly computation-oriented lower division undergraduate classes and the abstract mathematics encountered in more advanced mathematics courses.

• The Mirror Site (1) - PDF

• Linear Algebra Done Right (Sheldon Axler)

  The text focuses on the central goal of linear algebra: understanding the structure of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and simplify proofs.

• Understanding Linear Algebra (David Austin)

  The text aims to support readers as they develop their ability to think about linear algebra conceptually, their computational fluency (with SageMath), and their understanding of the role that linear algebra plays in shaping our society.

• Advanced Linear Algebra (David Surowski)

  This book explores a variety of advanced topics in linear algebra that highlight the rich interconnections of the subject to geometry, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, numerical computation, and many other areas of mathematics.

• Linear Algebra (Jim Hefferon)

  This textbook covers linear systems and Gauss' method, vector spaces, linear maps and matrices, determinants, and eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Each chapter has three or four discussions of additional topics and applications.

• Algebra: Abstract and Concrete (Frederick M. Goodman)

  This introduction to modern or abstract algebra addresses the conventional topics of groups, rings, and fields with symmetry as a unifying theme, while it introduces readers to the active practice of mathematics.

• Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications (Thomas W Judson)

  This book is designed to teach the principles and theory of abstract algebra to college juniors and seniors in a rigorous manner. Its strengths include a wide range of exercises, both computational and theoretical, plus many nontrivial applications.

• Elementary Abstract Algebra: Examples and Applications

  It introduces the basic notions of group theory by a thorough treatment of important examples, including complex numbers, modular arithmetic, symmetries, and permutations, also applications to communications, cryptography, and coding theory.
