Description
Understanding Linear Algebra is an open textbook designed to support a two-course undergraduate linear algebra sequence. It covers topics such as systems of equations, vector and matrix algebra, span, linear independence, bases, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, orthogonality, least squares, and singular value decompositions.
The book offers several features that distinguish it from other linear algebra textbooks. One notable aspect is its availability in various formats, including accessible HTML, PDF, and braille, making it freely available at This accessibility makes it an attractive option for learners who require alternative introductions to university-level mathematics.
Designed with active learning in mind, the book incorporates numerous activities and exercises to facilitate a deep understanding of linear algebraic concepts and mathematical reasoning. It also develops computational proficiency through the use of Sage, an open source computer algebra system.
