This is a short text in linear algebra, intended for a one-term
course. In the first chapter, Lang discusses the relation between
the geometry and the algebra underlying the subject, and gives
concrete examples of the notions which appear later in the book. He
then starts with a discussion of linear equations, matrices and
Gaussian elimination, and proceeds to discuss vector spaces, linear
maps, scalar products, determinants, and eigenvalues. The book
contains a large number of exercises, some of the routine
computational type, while others are conceptual.
