Life of Fred: Linear Algebra Expanded Edition

Elk Mountain Learning center is your home for new and used Life of Fred: Linear Algebra Expanded Edition curriculum. It is available in hardcover. 

Life of Fred: Linear Algebra Expanded Edition:

Linear Algebra is the third book in the Life of Fred University Mathematics Series (if this series is broken down into University Math Set 1 and University Math Set 2, it is the first book of “University/College Set 2”), and covers junior-year algebra that should only be taken after completing calculus.

Four chapters are included that deal with the systems of linear equations: systems with exactly one solution, systems with many solutions, systems with no solution, and systems evolving over time. Four additional half-chapters build upon that foundation to delve into more abstract topics such as vector spaces and inner product spaces. “Your Turn to Play” sections are interspersed throughout each chapter and involve students in the process of learning through practice. After completing the problems, fully worked solutions are given for students to check their work. At the end of each chapter are six “city” problem sets (each named after a city). All “city” answers are provided in this expanded edition.

Life of Fred Linear Algebra covers: Solving systems of equations with one, many, and no solutions. Gauss-Jordan elimination. Gaussian elimination. Matrices. LU-decomposition. Vector spaces. Inner product spaces. Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process. Fourier series. Data fitting. Linear Transformations. Linear functionals. Dual spaces. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Markov chains.
