Figuras. Problemas de repaso. Apendices. Dirigida a estudian tes que necesitan que llene el vacio entre el algebra elemental y los cursos mas avanzados de matematicas previos al aprendizaje del calculo. Se diseño para que el estudiante primero aprenda un concepto, luego lo aplique en la resolucion de ecuaciones y desigualdades, y despues utilice estas para resolver problemas planteados en forma verbal. Incorpora cerca de 450 problemas relacionados con aplicaciones del mundo real, asi como varias sugerencias para solucionarlos, demostradas en 80 ejemplos.
Rico en ejemplos, ejercicios y aplicaciones, este texto incluye toda la teoría básica del álgebra lineal, los métodos numéricos mas importantes e integra la tecnología sin sacrificar material básico para el curso.Indice Extractado: Sistemas lineales - Vectores - Matrices - Espacios vectoriales - Transformaciones lineales - Determinantes - Eigenvalores y Eigenvectores - Productos punto y cruz - Numeros complejos.
This book is a clear exposition, with exercises, of the basic ideas of algebraic topology: homology (singular, simplicial, and cellular), homotopy groups, and cohomology rings. It is suitable for a two-semester course at the beginning graduate level, requiring as a prerequisite a knowledge of point set topology and basic algebra. Although categories and functors are introduced early in the text, excessive generality is avoided, and the author explains the geometric or analytic origins of abstract concepts as they are introduced, making this book of great value to the student.
The hallmark of this text has been the authors'' clear, careful, and concise presentation of linear algebra so that students can fully understand how the mathematics works. The text balances theory with examples, applications, and geometric intuition."Learning Tools CD-ROM will be automatically packaged free with every new text purchased from Houghton Mifflin.Section 3.4, now named "Introduction to Eigenvalues," has been broken into two separate sections to provide more emphasis on the early introduction of eigenvalues. The new Section 3.5, "Applications of Determinants," covers the Adjoint of a Matrix; Cramer'' s Rule; and the Area, Volume, and Equations of Lines and Planes.All real data in exercises and examples have been updated to reflect current statistics and information.This edition features more "Writing Exercises to reinforce critical-thinking skills and additional multi-part "True/False Questions in the end-of-section and chapter review exercise sets to encourage students to think about mathematics from different perspectives.Additional exercises involving larger matrices have been added to the exercise sets where appropriate. These exercises will be linked to the data sets found on the web site and the Learning Tools CD-ROM.Eduspace is Houghton Mifflin'' s online learning tool. Powered by Blackboard, Eduspace is a customizable, powerful and interactive platform that provides instructors with text-specific online courses and content. The Larson "Elementary Linear Algebra course features algorithmic exercises and test bank content in question pools.
