About Book:This book is an introduction to linr aebra for pre-calculus students. It is a stand-alone unit in the sense that no prior knowledge of matrices is assumed. Students withexperience in eral mathematics, up to and including Aebra I, should be able tocomprehend the material. However, most students have not had experience with thetopics in the latter chapters, so the pace of the course should allow for the students tospend extra time with these chapters. We begin with chapters that explain the matrixoperations of addition, subtraction, scalar multipliion, and matrix multipliion.These topics are covered in most pre-calculus texts that are currently in use. Thisunit also allows the students to explore the notions of inverse, determinant, andconsistent and inconsistent systems; these topics are covered in some pre-calculus textbooks.Download BooK
