"Contains all the basic computational techniques and fundamental theoretical results essential to a first course in linear algebra, as well as a wide range of practical applications. A major purpose of this text is to assist students in attaining a level of abstract thinking essential for further mathematical study. The authors give early, intensive attention to the skills needed for the reading of mathematical proofs."--Back cover.
