Preface


  1. widespread usage of linear algebra.
  2. purpose: a treatment of the principal topics and a variety of applications.
    아마도: finite-dimensional case(the basic theory)를 주로 emphasize할테지만, 종종 infinite case(to solve homogeneous linear differential equations)도 말하겠다.
  3. prerequisite: requiring the mathematical sophistication. It emphasizes theoretical vector spaces, so it is suited to a second course in linear algebra…

SUGGESTED COURSE OUTLINES

  1. core: Chapters 1 through 5 and Sections 6.1 through 6.5.
    independent: Chapters 6 and 7, some applications to such areas as economics, and physics.
  2. Its goal is to cover the topics in a one-semester four-hour course.
  3. Asterisk $\ast$ is the optional symbol, while dagger $\dagger$ is the non-optional symbol.
