Book description

A thorough and accessible introduction to linear algebra, delivered digitally.

The new 10th Edition of Linear Algebra with Applications continues to encourage a challenging and broad understanding of the subject.

For this edition, Steve Leon – one of the leading figures in the use of technology for linear algebra – is joined by new co-author Lisette de Pillis of Harvey Mudd College, who brings her passion for teaching and solving real-world problems to this revision.

Key to the 10th Edition was transforming from a primarily print-based resource to a digital learning tool. The eText is packed with content and tools, such as interactive figures, that help bring course content to life for students and augment instruction. This change in format supports the authors’ hallmark – using modern practical application to make key concepts tangible and demonstrating how mathematics is used in the real world.

Each chapter contains integrated worked examples, practical applications, computer exercises, and chapter tests. The important roles played by geometry and visualization in understanding linear algebra are emphasized.

For sophomore-level or junior/senior-level first courses in linear algebra; assumes calculus as a prerequisite.

Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class – motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. Portable access lets students study on the go, even offline. And, student usage analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction.

NOTE: This ISBN is for the Pearson eText access card. For students purchasing this product from an online retailer, Pearson eText is a fully digital delivery of Pearson content and should only be purchased when required by your instructor. In addition to your purchase, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson eText.
