This book presents an elementary and concrete approach to linear algebra that is both useful and essential for the beginning student and teacher of mathematics. Here are the fundamental concepts of matrix algebra, first in an intuitive framework and then in a more formal manner. A Variety of interpretations and applications of the elements and operations considered are included. In particular, the use of matrices in the study of transformations of the plane is stressed. The purpose of this book is to familiarize the reader with the role of matrices in abstract algebraic systems, and to illustrate its effective use as a mathematical tool in geometry. The first two chapters cover the basic con...
Geared toward undergraduate students, this text illustrates the use of vectors as a mathematical tool in plane synthetic geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, and analytic geometry of two- and three-dimensional space. Its rigorous development includes a complete treatment of the algebra of vectors in the first two chapters. Among the text's outstanding features are numbered definitions and theorems in the development of vector algebra, which appear in italics for easy reference. Most of the theorems include proofs, and coordinate position vectors receive an in-depth treatment. Key concepts for generalized vector spaces are clearly presented and developed, and 57 worked-out illustrative examples aid students in mastering the concepts. A total of 258 exercise problems offer supplements to theories or provide the opportunity to reinforce the understanding of applications, and answers to odd-numbered exercises appear at the end of the book.
Written for undergraduates who require a familiarity with the principles behind numerical analysis, this classical treatment encompasses finite differences, least squares theory, and harmonic analysis. Over 70 examples and 280 exercises. 1967 edition.
Uncommonly interesting introduction illuminates complexities of higher mathematics while offering a thorough understanding of elementary mathematics. Covers development of complex number system and elementary theories of numbers, polynomials and operations, determinants, matrices, constructions and graphical representations. Several exercises — without solutions.

Plane strain and generalized plane stress boundary value problems of linear elasticity are discussed as well as functions of a complex variable, basic equations of 2-dimensional elasticity, plane and half-plane problems, more. 1971 edition. Includes 26 figures.
This treatise presents a mathematical analysis of choice behavior. Starting with a general axiom, it then examines applications of the theory to substantive problems: psychophysics, utility, and learning. 1959 edition.
Highlighted by numerous examples, this book explores methods of the projective geometry of the plane. Examines the conic, the general equation of the 2nd degree, and the relationship between Euclidean and projective geometry. 1960 edition.
Concise exposition of realizability theory as applied to continous linear systems, specifically to the operators generated by physical systems as mappings of stimuli into responses. Many problems included.
