{"product_id":"linear-algebra-as-an-introduction-bruno-nachtergaele-9789814730358","title":"Linear Algebra as an Introduction to Abstract Mathematics","description":"This is an introductory textbook designed for undergraduate mathematics majors with an emphasis on abstraction and in particular, the concept of proofs in the setting of linear algebra. Typically such a student would have taken calculus, though the only prerequisite is suitable mathematical grounding. The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between the more conceptual and computational oriented undergraduate classes to the more abstract oriented classes. The book begins with systems of linear equations and complex numbers, then relates these to the abstract notion of linear maps on finite-dimensional vector spaces, and covers diagonalization, eigenspaces, determinants, and the Spectral Theorem. Each chapter concludes with both proof-writing and computational exercises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruno Nachtergaele,Anne Schilling,Isaiah Lankham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814730351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814730358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Bruno Nachtergaele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113891344639,"sku":"9789814730358","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_923671b6-ee06-4d46-83b0-ccf2c6f7b77d.jpg?v=1769617791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/linear-algebra-as-an-introduction-bruno-nachtergaele-9789814730358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
