Book Synopsis Vectors, Matrices and Geometry by : K.T. Leung
Download or read book Vectors, Matrices and Geometry written by K.T. Leung. This book was released on 1994-08-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the last volume of a three-book series written for Sixth Form students and first-year undergraduates. It introduces the important concepts of finite-dimensional vector spaces through the careful study of Euclidean geometry. In turn, methods of linear algebra are then used in the study of coordinate transformations through which a complete classification of conic sections and quadric surfaces is obtained. The book concludes with a detailed treatment of linear equations in n variables in the language of vectors and matrices. Illustrative examples are included in the main text and numerous exercises are given in each section. The other books in the series are Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics (published 1988) and Polynomials and Equations (published 1992).
