This text focuses on the primary topics in a first course in Linear Algebra. The author includes additional advanced topics related to data analysis, singular value decomposition and connections to differential equations. This is a lab text that would lead a class through Linear Algebra using Mathematica demonstrations and Mathematica coding.
The book includes interesting examples embedded in the projects. Examples include the discussions of Lights Out, Nim, the Hill Cipher, and others.
The 2nd Edition contains:
Instructors and students alike have enjoyed this popular book as it offers the opportunity to add Mathematica to the Linear Algebra course.
I would definitely use the book (specifically the projects at the end of each section) to motivate undergraduate research.Nick Luke, North Carolina A&T State University
