Summary

For courses in Advanced Linear Algebra. 


Illustrates the power of linear algebra through practical applications 

This acclaimed theorem-proof text presents a careful treatment of the principal topics of linear algebra. It emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between linear transformations and matrices, but states theorems in the more general infinite-dimensional case where appropriate. Applications to such areas as differential equations, economics, geometry, and physics appear throughout, and can be included at the instructor’s discretion.

Author Biography

Stephen H. Friedberg holds a BA in mathematics from Boston University and MS and PhD degrees in mathematics from Northwestern University, and was awarded a Moore Postdoctoral Instructorship at MIT. He served as a director for CUPM, the Mathematical Association of America’s Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics. He was a faculty member at Illinois State University for 32 years, where he was recognized as the outstanding teacher in the College of Arts and Sciences in 1990. He has also taught at the University of London, the University of Missouri, and at Illinois Wesleyan University. He has authored or coauthored articles and books in analysis and linear algebra.


Arnold J. Insel received BA and MA degrees in mathematics from the University of Florida and a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. He served as a faculty member at Illinois State University for 31 years and at Illinois Wesleyan University for two years. In addition to authoring and co-authoring articles and books in linear algebra, he has written articles in lattice theory, topology, and topological groups.


Lawrence E. Spence holds a BA from Towson State College and MS and PhD degrees in mathematics from Michigan State University. He served as a faculty member at Illinois State University for 34 years, where he was recognized as the outstanding teacher in the College of Arts and Sciences in 1987. He is an author or co-author of nine college mathematics textbooks, as well as articles in mathematics journals in the areas of discrete mathematics and linear algebra.
