Hallmark Features
- Discussion and Discovery problems end every section. These problems are often open-ended and designed to promote conceptual understanding.
- Pedagogical Enhancements include the addition of names for examples and theorems, to reinforce their importance and relationship to other ideas.
- Symbol Index describes what each symbol in the text means, and where it is introduced.
- Clear Presentation- Proceeds from familiar concepts to the unfamiliar, from the concrete to the abstract.
- Emphasizes Relationships between Concepts- Establishes the intricate thread of relationships between systems of equations, matrices, determinants, vectors, linear transformations and eigenvalues.
- Early Exposure to Linear Transformations and Eigenvalues- Some basic concepts relating to these topics are developed earlier in the text and then reviewed when the topic is covered in more depth later, to ensure that these important ideas do not get lost at the end of the course.
- Emphasizes Visualization- Geometric aspects of various topics are emphasized, in keeping with current interest in visualization and the growing applications of linear algebra to graphics.
