Document Summary
Revising this textbook has been a special challenge, for a very nice reason. So many people have read this book, and taught from it, and even loved it. The spirit of the book could never change. This text was written to help our teaching of linear algebra keep up with the enormous importance of this subject which just continues to grow. One step was certainly possible and desirable to add new problems. Teaching for all these years required hundreds of new exam questions (especially with quizzes going onto the web). I think you will approve of the extended choice of problems. The questions are still a mixture of explain and compute the two complementary approaches to learning this beautiful subject. I personally believe that many more people need linear algebra than calculus. But he isn"t teaching mathematics in the 21st century (and maybe he wasn"t a great teacher, but we will give him the bene t of the doubt).
