This best-selling textbook for a second course in linear algebra is aimed at undergrad math majors and graduate students. The novel approach taken here banishes determinants to the end of the book. The text focuses on the central goal of linear algebra: understanding the structure of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to simplify proofs. A variety of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the objects of linear algebra. The third edition contains major improvements and revisions throughout the book. More than 300 new exercises have been added since the previous edition. Many new examples have been added to illustrate the key ideas of linear algebra. New topics covered in the book include product spaces, quotient spaces, and dual spaces. Beautiful new formatting creates pages with an unusually pleasant appearance in both print and electronic versions. No prerequisites are assumed other than the usual demand for suitable mathematical maturity. Thus the text starts by discussing vector spaces, linear independence, span, basis, and dimension. The book then deals with linear maps, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Inner-product spaces are introduced, leading to the finite-dimensional spectral theorem and its consequences. Generalized eigenvectors are then used to provide insight into the structure of a linear operator.

This open access textbook welcomes students into the fundamental theory of measure, integration, and real analysis.

Axler's College Algebra focuses on depth, not breadth of topics by exploring necessary topics in greater detail. Students will benefit from the straightforward definitions and plentiful examples of complex concepts. The Student Solutions Manual is integrated at the end of every section. The proximity of the solutions encourages students to go back and read the main text as they are working through the problems and exercises. The inclusion of the manual also saves students money. Axler's College Algebra is available with WileyPLUS; an innovative, research-based, online environment for effective teaching and learning. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.

College Algebra, First Edition provides in-depth coverage of essential topics with a streamlined approach and accessible definitions. The text features precise and accurate prose, making complex concepts easier to understand for students, ensuring a clear and straightforward reading experience.
