书籍简介

索耶教授的这本书基于多伦多大学工程专业一年级学生的一门课程。该书旨在向能力一般、主要兴趣不在数学领域的学生介绍线性代数的重要思想；因此，这本书将引起工程学和其它学科学生的兴趣。本书从头到尾都强调数学技巧的重要性，因此作者非常重视阐明形式计算中所体现的基本思想。在那些严格的处理会非常冗长乏味的地方，本书只提供解释，而不是完整的证明，并提醒读者，在更正式的处理中，需要证明这样的结果。本书充满了物理类比（许多来自工程领域以外的领域），并包含许多已完成和未完成的例子，与正文融为一体。

Professor Sawyer's book is based on a course given to the majority of engineering students in their first year at Toronto University. Its aim is to present the important ideas in linear algebra to students of average ability whose principal interests lie outside the field of mathematics; as such it will be of interest to students in other disciplines as well as engineering. The emphasis throughout is on imparting an understanding of the significance of the mathematical techniques and great care has therefore been taken to being out the underlying ideas embodied in the formal calculations. In those places where a rigorous treatment would be very long and wearisome, an explanation rather than a complete proof is provided, the reader being warned that in a more formal treatment such results would need to be be proved. The book is full of physical analogies (many from fields outside the realm of engineering) and contains many worked and unworked examples, integrated with the text.
