The Preface explains that “This book is designed for a one-semester first course in linear algebra…that an average hard-working student not necessarily a math major could read from cover to cover during a semester.” Any course on linear algebra has a choice on the order of material. Do you solve linear equations before introducing vector space terminology? At what stage do you introduce matrices? When if at all do you describe the geometry of real 3-dimensional space?
