| Summary, etc. | The sixth edition of Gilbert Strang's best-selling textbook, Introduction to Linear Algebra, continues to combine serious purpose with a gentle touch, providing an accessible and comprehensive guide to the study of linear algebra. Two of the chapters — the first and the last — deserve special mention.<br/><br/>Chapter 1 emphasizes that matrix-vector multiplication Ax produces a linear combination of the columns of <br/>. Those combinations fill the column space of <br/>, and the idea of linear independence is introduced by examples. The result is to see (for small matrices) the ideas of column rank and row rank and a valuable factorization <br/>.<br/><br/>Later chapters (the heart of the book) develop five great factorizations of a matrix, and they are connected to the four fundamental subspaces that students can work with.<br/><br/>Chapter 10 (the closing chapter) — not reached in a first course but so valuable in modern applications — describes the key ideas of Deep Learning. The learning function (built from training data) is piecewise linear with matrix weights. For unseen data, those same weights give an accurate understanding — and every student knows the importance of these ideas.<br/><br/>New to the Sixth Edition:<br/><br/>Two new chapters on applications of linear algebra to vital modern problems of optimization and learning from data.<br/>Expanded coverage of linear transformations and eigenvectors.<br/>Revised treatment of singular value decomposition with a focus on its applications in data analysis and machine learning.<br/>More examples and exercises, helping students to solidify their understanding of the material.<br/>Professor Strang has taught linear algebra at MIT for more than 50 years, and the course he developed has become a model for teaching around the world. His video lectures on MIT OpenCourseWare have been viewed over ten million times, and his textbooks have been widely adopted.<br/>A publication of Wellesley-Cambridge Press. Distributed within the Americas by the American Mathematical Society. |
