After transitioning from solving systems of two linear equations to solving general systems, this textbook introduces the algebraic properties of matrix operations, determinants, vector spaces, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, linear transformations, inner product spaces, numerical techniques, and linear programming. The fifth edition adds sections on matrix multiplication in terms of columns, and orthogonal transformations. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
