- Summary:
- This book explores linear algebra using an approach that introduces abstract concepts only as they are needed to understand the computations. No new concept is introduced without first justifying its importance and relationship to something which is already in the readers' sphere of experience, allowing readers to see immediately why each concept is necessary. This approach ensures that the relation between theory and application is clear and immediate.
- Gradual development of vector spaces.-- Conceptual, not theoritical, exercises.
