For their encouragement, patience, and the joy they bring to my life, thank you to my wonderful husband, Jan Lindheim, and my brilliant daughters, Lydia, Sarah, and Alexandra.

For their non-stop enthusiastic support, for teaching me to love learning and to never stop asking why, thank you to my parents.

And for bringing me alongside, and giving me the opportunity to join in the ongoing work of this book, thank you to my co-author Steven Leon.

We are pleased to see the text reach its tenth edition. The continued support and enthusiasm of its many users have been most gratifying. Linear algebra is more exciting now than at almost any time in the past. Its applications continue to spread to more and more fields. Largely due to the computer revolution of the last 75 years, linear algebra has risen to a role of prominence in the mathematical curriculum rivaling that of calculus. Modern software has also made it possible to dramatically improve the way the course is taught.

The first edition of this book was published in 1980. Each of the following editions has seen significant modifications including the addition of comprehensive sets of MATLAB computer exercises, a dramatic increase in the number of applications, and many revisions in the various sections of the book. We have been fortunate to have had outstanding reviewers, and their suggestions have led to many important improvements in the book.

You may have noticed something new on the cover of the book. Another author! Yes, after nearly 40 years as a solo act, Steve Leon has a partner. New co-author Lisette de Pillis is a professor at Harvey Mudd College and brings her passion for teaching and solving real-world problems to this revision.

The focus of this revision was transforming it from a primarily print-based learning tool to a digital learning tool. The eText is therefore filled with content and tools that will help bring the entire course to life for students in new ways and help you improve instruction. Specifically,

• Interactive figures and utilities. We have added a number of opportunities for students to interact with content in a dynamic manner in order to build and enhance understanding. Interactive figures allow students to explore concepts geometrically in ways that are not possible without technology. Examples here include:

  • In

  • In , Visualizing linear transformations

    • Simple linear transformations

    • Dilations, reflections, rotations

    • Yaw, pitch, and roll of an airplane

  • In , Visualization tools for 2 2 matrices

    • Eigenvectors

    • Singular vectors

• Hints. For selected exercises, weve included hints for students to consider if they get stuck.

• Notes, Labels, and Highlights. Notes allow instructors to add their personal teaching style to important topics, call out need-to-know information, or clarify difficult concepts. Students can make their eText their own by creating highlights with meaningful labels and notes, helping them focus on what they need to study. The customizable Notebook allows students to filter, arrange, and group their notes in a way that makes sense to them.

• Dashboard. Instructors can create reading assignments and see the time spent in the eText so that they can plan more effective instruction.

• Portability. Portable access lets students read their eText whenever they have a moment in their day, on Android and iOS mobile phones and tablets. Even without an Internet connection, offline reading ensures students never miss a chance to learn.

• Ease-of-Use. Straightforward setup makes it easy for instructors to get their class up and reading quickly on the first day of class. In addition, Learning Management System (LMS) integration provides institutions, instructors, and students with single sign-on access to the eText via many popular LMSs.
