Looking for my Linear Algebra book?
Here you can find a downloadable copy of my
Linear Algebra,
an undergraduate text.
There is an in-depth description on that page, but briefly: this text features
standard coverage (linear reduction, vector spaces, linear maps, determinants,
and eigenvalues), proves things but carefully covers the needed computations
also, and has extensive exercises, all with worked-problem answers.
It has been class-tested a few times, and is suitable for a person to
use as a main text in a class, or as a supplemental book, or for
self-study.
I think it's pretty good!
Looking for me, Jim Hefferon?
My page.
Here you can find materials for my classes, such as syllabii and some
slides from lectures.
Old exams of mine are here, so if you are taking a class with me you can
use them to give you a hint of what you might see.
I've also included some business such as office hours.
Finally, what would a home page be without some good links?
I've got some for TeX and LaTeX, for Linux, and for a few other things.
Open-sourced and Free software is a great idea. We can build on good work that other folks have already done, and not just make the fifty-first implementation of something.
