Linear Algebra : Theory and Applications, 2/e (Hardcover)

Ward Cheney and David Kincaid have developed Linear Algebra: Theory and Applications, Second Edition, a multi-faceted introductory textbook, which was motivated by their desire for a single text that meets the various requirements for differing courses within linear algebra. For theoretically-oriented students, the text guides them as they devise proofs and deal with abstractions by focusing on a comprehensive blend between theory and applications. For application-oriented science and engineering students, it contains numerous exercises that help them focus on understanding and learning not only vector spaces, matrices, and linear transformations, but also how software tools are used in applied linear algebra. Using a flexible design, it is an ideal textbook for instructors who wish to make their own choice regarding what material to emphasize, and to accentuate those choices with homework assignments from a large variety of exercises, both in the text and online.

Ward Cheney和David Kincaid開發了《線性代數：理論與應用》第二版，這是一本多面向的入門教材，他們的目標是提供一本滿足線性代數不同課程需求的單一教材。對於理論導向的學生，本書通過全面結合理論和應用，引導他們進行證明和處理抽象問題。對於應用科學和工程學導向的學生，本書包含大量練習題，幫助他們理解和學習向量空間、矩陣和線性變換，以及應用線性代數中的軟體工具的使用。本書設計靈活，非常適合希望根據自己的需求選擇教材內容的教師，並通過大量的練習題（包括書中和網上的）強調這些選擇。
