Interview with the author:
“This book concentrates on the ideas behind linear algebra. It rigorously proves all the results it states, with the proofs being conceptual rather than computational or manipulative.”
Describe your book using a limerick:
“We are looking for information
And even better for an explanation
That will enable us to know
And to rigorously show
The properties of a linear transformation.”
What do you hope readers will take away from your publication?
“That students will not only know that the results of linear algebra are true, but, even more importantly, will understand why they are true.”
