The presentation emphasizes the structural elements over the computational - for example by connecting matrices to linear transformations from the outset - and prepares the student for further study of abstract mathematics. Uniquely among algebra texts at this level, it introduces group theory early in the discussion, as an example of the rigorous development of informal axiomatic systems.Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics,0172-6056AlgebraMatrix theoryAlgebrahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11000Linear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11094Algebra.Matrix theory.Algebra.Linear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory.51215-01mscValenza Robert Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut54714BOOK9910789344503321Linear algebra83097UNINA
