Books in the Mathematical Guides series

This textbook offers a carefully paced and sympathetic treatment of linear algebra, assuming knowledge only of the basic notation and elementary ideas of set theory. It progresses gradually to the more powerful and abstract notions of linear algebra, providing exercises which test and develop the reader's understanding at the end of each section.

Hints are provided, but the book aims to build confidence and understanding in all topics. This second edition has two new substantial chapters, covering integration and powere series, and is updated throughout, taking into account changes in notation.

A second edition of this text for science and engineering undergraduates which introduces the mathematical techniques and tools needed to solve the mathematical problems they will face on the first year of their course.
