Advanced Linear Algebra cover

This engaging text helps advanced undergraduate students grasp core concepts in linear algebra and examines contemporary applications.

An engaging textbook for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates covering the core subjects in linear algebra, with a unique emphasis on ideas from analysis. This edition includes over 200 new exercises and in-depth coverage of contemporary applications, including quantum mechanics, machine learning, data science, and quantum information.The second edition of this engaging textbook for advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduates covers all the core subjects in linear algebra. It has a unique emphasis on integrating ideas from analysis, in addition to pure algebra, and features a balance of abstraction, practicality, and contemporary applications. Four chapters examine some of the most important of these applications, including quantum mechanics, machine learning, data science, and quantum information. The material is supplemented by a rich collection of exercises designed for students from diverse backgrounds, including a wealth of newly added ones in this edition. Selected solutions are provided at the back of the book for use in self-study, and full solutions are available online to instructors.

'Mastering the intricacies of linear algebra has never been easier. This textbook offers a clear, engaging approach that demystifies complex concepts while providing some contemporary applications in quantum mechanics, machine learning, and data science. A valuable resource for both students and professionals eager to deepen their understanding of this foundational discipline!' Jichun Li, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
'Yang's book is a wonderful introduction to linear algebra. It is simultaneously precise and casual and covers both introductory and advanced material. This second edition includes fantastic excursions into areas of mathematics and physics where linear algebra plays a central role, such as quantum information theory and machine learning, providing the reader a unique opportunity to see the material they just learned put to good use. I highly recommend this text.'
