Elementary Linear Algebra: Applications Version gives an elementary treatment of linear algebra that is suitable for a first course for undergraduate students. The aim is to present the fundamentals of linear algebra in the clearest possible way, with pedagogy as the main consideration. Calculus is not a prerequisite, but there are clearly labeled exercises and examples (which can be omitted without loss of continuity) for students who have studied calculus.
This book is an alternate version of Elementary Linear Algebra; it includes an additional chapter on the applications of linear algebra.
