Title: Linear Algebra, Geometry and Transformation Series: Textbooks in Mathematics (Book 20) Author: Bruce Solomon Format: PDF Hardcover: 474 pages Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC; Har/Psc edition (December 12, 2014) Language: English ISBN: 978-1482299281 Linear Algebra, Geometry and Transformation provides students with a solid geometric grasp of linear transformations. It stresses the linear case of the inverse function and rank theorems and gives a careful geometric treatment of the spectral theorem. An Engaging Treatment of the Interplay among Algebra, Geometry, and Mappings The text starts with basic questions about images and pre-images of mappings, injectivity, surjectivity, and distortion. In the process of answering these questions in the linear setting, the book covers all the standard topics for a first course on linear algebra, including linear systems, vector geometry, matrix algebra, subspaces, independence, dimension, orthogonality, eigenvectors, and diagona...
