The book is an introduction to Linear Algebra with an account  of its principal applications. It is addressed to students of  mathematics, the physical, engineering and social sciences, and  commerce. The reader is assumed to have completed the calculus  sequence. Special features of the book are thorough coverage of all  core areas of linear algebra, with a detailed account of such  important applications as least squares, systems of linear  recurrences, Markov processes, and systems of differential  equations. The book also gives an introduction to some more advanced  topics such as diagonalization of Hermitian matrices and Jordan  form. A principal aim of the book is to make the material accessible  to the reader who is not a mathematician, without loss of mathematical  rigor. This is reflected in a wealth of examples, the clarity of  writing and the organization of material. There is a growing need for  knowledge of linear algebra that goes beyond the basic skills of  solving systems of linear equations and this book is intended to meet  it.
