This book provides students with the rudiments of Linear Algebra, a fundamental subject for students in all areas of science and technology. The book would also be good for statistics students studying linear algebra.
It is the translation of a successful textbook currently being used in Italy. The author is a mathematician sensitive to the needs of a general audience.
In addition to introducing fundamental ideas in Linear Algebra through a wide variety of interesting examples, the book also discusses topics not usually covered in an elementary text (e.g. the "cost" of operations, generalized inverses, approximate solutions). The challenge is to show why the "everyone" in the title can find Linear Algebra useful and easy to learn.
The translation has been prepared by a native English speaking mathematician, Professor Anthony V. Geramita.
The book is the english translation of a former italian edition. Its aim is to provide students with the first mathematical tools regarding Linear Algabra. The challenge is to explain to all the first rudiments of a fundamental knowledge for science and technology. The text has been written by a mathematicians in order to meet the expectations of general public.
