eigenvalues which supports them in other areas of their study. This new edition features technology, particularly MATLAB, with the inclusion of MATLAB projects at chapter ends providing hands-on experience with software. The MATLAB appendix makes students feel comfortable using Matlab with typical linear algebra problems. *Linear combinations introduced early providing a gradual increase in the level of abstraction so students 'ease' their way into abstract topics. *Eigenvalues are introduced and covered in depth early so that engineering students have the background they need for their other classes. *Inclusion of MATLAB examples and exercises throughout allow optional use of technology. *New applications included that show actual uses of concepts; data sources are often cited.
