Linear Algebra for Everyone

Hardback, 368 pages
Published
United States, 26 November 2020

Linear algebra has become the subject to know for people in quantitative disciplines of all kinds. No longer the exclusive domain of mathematicians and engineers, it is now used everywhere there is data and everybody who works with data needs to know more. This new book from Professor Gilbert Strang, author of the acclaimed Introduction to Linear Algebra, now in its fifth edition, makes linear algebra accessible to everybody, not just those with a strong background in mathematics. It takes a more active start, beginning by finding independent columns of small matrices, leading to the key concepts of linear combinations and rank and column space. From there it passes on to the classical topics of solving linear equations, orthogonality, linear transformations and subspaces, all clearly explained with many examples and exercises. The last major topics are eigenvalues and the important singular value decomposition, illustrated with applications to differential equations and image compression. A final optional chapter explores the ideas behind deep learning.

About the Author

Gilbert Strang has been teaching Linear Algebra at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for over fifty years. His online lectures for MIT's OpenCourseWare have been viewed over ten million times. He is a former President of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Chair of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics. Professor Strang is the author of twelve books, including the bestselling classic Introduction to Linear Algebra (2016), now in its fifth edition.

Reviews

'The author certainly makes every effort to explain all the concepts in great detail with well-chosen examples, and he provides a huge number of problems including 'challenge problems' and 'recommended problems'. There are also extensive web resources available.' Peter Giblin, University of Liverpool, The Mathematical Gazette
