Aimed at first-year undergraduate student in physics and engineering, this textbook combines a rigorous theoretical introduction to linear algebra with many examples, solved problems, and exercises, as well as scientific applications of the subject, including internet search, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing.
About the author
Andre Lukas graduated in physics at the University of Wuppertal in 1991 and received his doctoral degree at the Technical University of Munich in 1995, before moving on to postdoctoral positions at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Oxford. After a period as a member of faculty at the University of Sussex he returned to the University of Oxford in 2004 where he is currently a Professor of Theoretical Physics. His main area of research is string theory and its relation to differential and algebraic geometry.
