OverviewThe book Linear Algebra and Its Applications is written by Gilbert Strang was published by Cengage Learning in the year 2014.Synopsis Linear Algebra and Its Applications by Gilbert Strang demonstrates how fascinating and interesting linear algebra can be. The book does not just focus on mathematics but also places emphasis on understanding the concepts. It explains the concepts rather than deducing them. The language used in the book is of an informal and personal style. The book has succeeded in keeping the theory reinforced by the genuine applications presented. At the beginning of the book is a chapter on Matrices and Gaussian Elimination and then it goes on to other chapters such as Vector Spaces, Orthogonality, Determinants, Eigen Values and Eigen Vector, Positive Definite Matrices, Computation with Matrices and Linear Programming and Game Theory. It ensures that the reader is well informed about linear algebra once they use the book. The book contains extensively updated set of exercises featuring from the vast experience of the author. It reassures that the knowledge is transferable to practical applications. The book includes an optional section on Fast Fourier Transform which is an important academic portion. The author has a long experience in this subject and he has put in a lot of effort to pass it onto readers, so that anyone can use this text and grab a fair knowledge of the subject.
