The Oxford Linear Algebra for Scientists

The Oxford Linear Algebra for Scientists by Andre Lukas

This textbook provides a modern introduction to linear algebra, a mathematical discipline every first year undergraduate student in physics and engineering must learn. A rigorous introduction into the mathematics is combined with many examples, solved problems, and exercises as well as scientific applications of linear algebra. These include applications to contemporary topics such as internet search, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and quantum computing, as well as a number of more advanced topics, such as Jordan normal form, singular value decomposition, and tensors, which will make it a useful reference for a more experienced practitioner. Structured into 27 chapters, it is designed as a basis for a lecture course and combines a rigorous mathematical development of the subject with a range of concisely presented scientific applications. The main text contains many examples and solved problems to help the reader develop a working knowledge of the subject and every chapter comes with exercises.

The authors are uniquely well qualified to produce a textbook suitable for first-year university students* David Matravers, University of Portsmouth *
Linear Algebra is a core undergraduate course not only in Mathematics but also in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science. This textbook brilliantly succeeds in catering to such a wide audience by covering a broad range of formal developments along with concrete applications and is unique in its presentation of the topic. * Richard Joseph Szabo, Heriot-Watt University *
Lukas has written an impressive mathematical textbook that covers standard introductory linear algebra topics along with advanced concepts that will appeal to many readers. * Choice *

Andre Lukas graduated in physics at the University of Wuppertal in 1991 and received his doctoral degree at the Technical University of Munich in 1995, before moving on to postdoctoral positions at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Oxford. After a period as a member of faculty at the University of Sussex he returned to the University of Oxford in 2004 where he is currently a Professor of Theoretical Physics. His main area of research is string theory and its relation to differential and algebraic geometry.
