Most articles are accessible to those with modest preparation in linear algebra, including beginning students. However, many items will also contain pleasant surprises even to those well-versed in the subject. The editors have combed through the literature, and have selected from original submissions, to find expository articles and problems to enrich the reader's understanding. The seventy-three articles selected are organized into nine sections, with over 120 problems grouped into subject categories as a tenth section.
Contributors to the volume include experts in the field and long-time teachers of linear algebra. The book was prepared as part of a broad contract with the National Science Foundation to improve undergraduate linear algebra education. The editors hope that many readers will find enjoyment from this collection.
