Linear Algebra Through Geometry

Book Overview
This book introduces the concepts of linear algebra through the careful study of two and three-dimensional Euclidean geometry. This approach makes it possible to start with vectors, linear transformations, and matrices in the context of familiar plane geometry and to move directly to topics such as dot products, determinants, eigenvalues, and quadratic forms. The later chapters deal with n-dimensional Euclidean space and other finite-dimensional...

A wonderful introduction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
A crystal clear book. It shows the geometrical significance of topics like eigenvalues/eigenvectors without losing the intuition in the formalism, like so many other books on Linear Algebra. The book would be particularly suitable for scientists, though prospective mathematicians would appreciate the "whys" too. I only wish there were follow-on, more advanced, volumes!
