Elementary Linear Algebra by Howard Anton
A first course in linear algebra for mathematics, engineering and computer science students. Praised over many editions for its expository style and clarity of presentation, the revision of this best--selling text combines linear algebra theory with applications, and addresses a new generation of students' changing needs. . This text can be used in a first or second year 1-- or 2-- semester course. Calculus is not a prerequisite, but there are exercises, examples, and applications for students with calculus backgrounds; they are clearly marked and can be omitted with no loss of continuity.Howard Anton obtained his B.A. from LehighUniversity, his M.A. from the University of Illinois, and his Ph.D. from the Polytechnic University of Brooklyn, all in mathematics. In the early 1960's he worked for Burroughs Corporation and Avco Corporation at Cape Canaveral, Florida, where he was involved with the manned space program. In 1968 he joined the Mathematics Department at Drexel University, where he taught full time until 1983. Since that time he has been an adjunct professor at Drexel and has devoted the majority of his time to textbook writing and activities for mathematical associations. Dr. Anton was president of the EPADEL Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), Served on the board of Governors of that organization, and guided the creation of the Student Chapters of the MAA. He has published numerous research papers in functional analysis, approximation theory, and topology, as well as pedagogical papers. He is best known for his textbooks in mathematics, which are among the most widely used in the world. There are currently more than one hundred versions of his books, including translations into Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, and German. For relaxation, Dr. Anton enjoys traveling and photography.
