		Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics devoted to the theory of linear structure.
		From the geometric point of view, “linear” is synonymous with “straight”, and consequently linear algebra can be regarded as the branch of mathematics dealing with lines and planes, as well as with transformations of space that preserve “straightness”, e.g.
		Linearity is a very basic notion, and consequently linear algebra has applications in numerous areas of mathematics, science, and engineering.

		Linear algebra is also the basis of a process called linear programming, widely used in business to solve a variety of problems that often contain a very large number of variables.
		In fact the beginnings of Linear Algebra are rooted in the early attempts of 16th- and 17th-century mathematicians to develop generalized methods for solving systems of linear equations.

	Centrality of Linear Algebra
		The separate linear algebra course became a standard part of the college mathematics curriculum in the United States in the 1950s and 60s and some colleges and universities were still adding the course in the early 1970s.
		Many colleges and universities are introducing a second course in linear algebra because they recognize the importance of the subject and the inadequacy of their first course in meeting the diverse needs of the students.
		Linear algebra provides a course that is full of ideas, with material that is rewarding to learn and to teach, and is a subject where both student and teacher can be challenged to their best performance.

	Linear Algebra
		Linear algebra, as its name might suggest, is the part of algebra that considers sets with linear structures and functions that preserve that structure.
		The most familiar linear structure to most students is the real numbers system: real numbers can be added and multiplied by other real numbers.
		Another linear structure is the set of all 2-dimensional vectors in the plane.

		It is written for an audience of readers at a specific place in their studies (ones who know linear algebra but want to take their understanding of it to a deeper level), and it reaches this audience very well.
		Linear algebra is crucial to anyone in a mathematical or technical field.
		Unlike many linear algebra books, which use some ugly matrix-related kludge in the proofs of the classification theorems, this book does these topics from the algebraic perspective (i.e., as decompositions of modules over principal ideal domains).

		Linear algebra is a living, active branch of mathematics which is central to almost all other areas of mathematics, both pure and applied, as well as computer science, the physical and social sciences, and engineering.
		It is also designed to prepare a student for the linear algebra portion of prelim exams or PhD qualifying exams.
		The volume is self-contained to the extent that it does not assume any previous formal knowledge of linear algebra, though the reader is assumed to have been exposed, at least informally, to some basic ideas and techniques, such as the solution of a small system of linear equations over the real numbers.

	Computational Linear Algebra
		Linear algebra is one of the corner stones of modern computational mathematics.
		Almost all numerical schemes such as the finite element method and finite difference method are in fact techniques that transform, assemble, reduce, rearrange, and/or approximate the differential, integral, or other types of equations to systems of linear algebraic equations.
		Thus, the system of linear algebraic equations can be decomposed to two systems of linear algebraic equations which can be solved directly.

		The general goal in this discipline is for students to learn the techniques of matrix manipulation so that they can solve systems of linear equations in any number of variables.
		Linear algebra is most often combined with another subject, such as trigonometry, mathematical analysis, or precalculus.
		For example, the solution set of a single linear equation in two variables is interpreted as a line in the plane, and the solution set of a two-by-two system is interpreted as the intersection of a pair of lines in the plane.
