This book stresses both practical computation and theoretical principles and centers on the early introduction of matrix theory and systems of linear equations, elementary vector-space concepts, and the eigenvalue problem. Featuring a gradual increase in the level of difficulty, an accessible writing style, and the integration of MATLAB, this text is an excellent introduction for engineering students.
