About

Preparing you for conceptual thinking in an abstract setting.
 
Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition, blends computational and conceptual topics throughout to prepare you for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting. The early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives you more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, once you have developed a solid conceptual foundation. Concepts and topics are frequently accompanied by applications to give you context and motivation. For those who learn best by example, Linear Algebra with Applications provides a large number of representative examples, over and above those used to introduce topics. The text also includes practice problems and over 2500 exercises, exposing you to computational and conceptual topics over a range of difficulty levels.

Authors

Jeffrey Holt

Jeff Holt has a B.A. from Humboldt State University and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas. He has been teaching mathematics for over 20 years, the last eleven at the University of Virginia. He currently has a joint appointment in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics at UVA.
 
During his career, Holt has won several awards for teaching. He has had NSF grants to support student math and science scholarships, the implementation of a computer-based homework system, and the development of an innovative undergraduate number theory course which later was turned into the text, Discovering Number Theory, coauthored with John Jones. In his spare time he enjoys lowering the value of his house with do-it-yourself home-improvement projects.
