The new 10th Edition of Linear Algebra with Applications continues to encourage a challenging and broad understanding of the subject. For this edition, Steve Leon — one of the leading figures in the use of technology for linear algebra — is joined by new co-author Lisette de Pillis of Harvey Mudd College, who brings her passion for teaching and solving real-world problems to this revision.
Key to the 10th Edition was transforming from a primarily print-based resource to a digital learning tool. The eText is packed with content and tools, such as interactive figures, that help bring course content to life for students and augment instruction. This change in format supports the authors’ hallmark — i.e., using modern practical application to make key concepts tangible and demonstrating how mathematics is used in the real world.
Each chapter contains integrated worked examples, practical applications, computer exercises, and chapter tests. The important roles played by geometry and visualization in understanding linear algebra are emphasized.
The text includes MATLAB exercises at the end of each chapter as well as a MATLAB Appendix that includes a brief overview of the Symbolic Math Toolbox.
