Linear Algebra with Applications, Alternate Edition by Gareth Williams
Building upon the sequence of topics of the popular 5th Edition, Linear Algebra with Applications, Alternate Seventh Edition provides instructors with an alternative presentation of course material. In this edition earlier chapters cover systems of linear equations, matrices, and determinates. The vector space Rn is introduced in chapter 4, leading directly into general vector spaces and linear transformations. This order of topics is ideal for those preparing to use linear equations and matrices in their own fields. New exercises and modern, real-world applications allow students to test themselves on relevant key material and a MATLAB manual, included as an appendix, provides 29 sections of computational problems.
Gareth Williams earned a B.S. and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Wales, and did graduate work at Kings College University of London. He has taught mathematics at the University of Florida, the University of Denver, and Stetson University. He has been an exchange professor at the Paedagogische Hochschule, in Freiburg, Germany and has spent sabbaticals at the University of Wales. His mathematical interests include linear algebra, relativity, mathematical modeling, and the computer in mathematics education.His publications include "Fine Topologies for Minkowski Space", Motions in Relativistic Space", "Mathematics in Archaeology", and books on Finite Mathematics, Calculus, and College Algebra. He is the co-developer (with Lisa Coulter) of the linear algebra software package, "The Linear Algebra Toolbox" for MATLAB. Dr. Williams is a member of The Mathematics Association of America.
