The cornerstone of ELEMENTARY LINEAR ALGEBRA is the authors’ clear, careful, and concise presentation of material—written so that users can fully understand how mathematics works. This program balances theory with examples, applications, and geometric intuition for a complete, step-by-step learning system. The Sixth Edition incorporates up-to-date coverage of Computer Algebra Systems (Maple/MATLAB/Mathematica); additional support is provided in a corresponding technology guide. Data and applications also reflect current statistics and examples to engage users and demonstrate the link between theory and practice. This Enhanced Edition includes instant access to WebAssign®, the most widely-used and reliable homework system. WebAssign® presents over 500 problems, as well as links to relevant book sections, that help users grasp the concepts needed to succeed in this course. As an added bonus, the Start Smart Guide has been bound into this book. This guide contains instructions to help users learn the basics of WebAssign quickly.
