The principal change from the first edition is the addition of a new chapter on linear programming. While linear programming is one of the most widely used and successful applications of linear algebra, it rarely appears in a text such as this. In the new Chapter Ten the theoretical basis of the simplex algorithm is carefully explained and its geometrical interpretation is stressed.

in Canton New York where he has taught undergraduate mathematics for 25 years. St. Lawrence University is a small Liberal Arts College in upstate New York that prides itself in the close interaction that exists between students and faculty. It is this many years of working closely with students that has shaped this text in Linear Algebra and the other texts he has written. He received his Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from Kent State University in 1979. Dr. DeFranza has coauthored PRECALCULUS, Fourth Edition and two other texts in single variable and multivariable calculus. Dr. DeFranza has also published a dozen research articles in the areas of Sequence Spaces and Classical Summability Theory. Jim is married and has two children David and Sara. Jim and his wife Regan live outside of Canton New York in a 150 year old farm house.

Linear Algebra and its Applications, 1992

This two volume set of texts is designed to provide material for a course of up to one full year at the undergraduate level. It requires as a prerequisite some knowledge of calculus and complex numbers, but little mathematical

Some basic ideas from linear algebra play an essential role in our subject, so I'm o¤ering this summary as a reference. These notes won't substitute for a proper textbook. In particular, I won't give proofs of anything here. Nevertheless, I hope they will be of some use. I may add to these notes later the semester. (I won't add to them earlier).

Begin the abstract here, typewritten and double-spaced. A thesis abstract should consist of 350 words or less including the heading. A page and one-half is approximately 350 words.)

These notes were written as a part of a graduate level course on transform theory offered at King's College London during 2002 and 2003. The material is heavily indebt to the excellent textbook by Gilbert Strang [1], which the reader is referred to for a more complete description of the material; for a more in-depth coverage, the reader is referred to [2–6].
