Linear Algebra
This book is suitable for a sophomore level linear algebra course taught in about twenty-five lectures. It is designed both for engineering and science majors, but has enough abstraction to be useful for potential math majors.

Cherney, Denton, and Waldron wrote:This "textbook" (+videos+WeBWorKs) is suitable for a sophomore level linear algebra course taught in about twenty-five lectures. It is designed both for engineering and science majors, but has enough abstraction to be useful for potential math majors. Our goal in writing it was to produce students who can perform computations with linear systems and also understand the concepts behind these computations. For more details, see the Table of Contents or the Preface.

Andrew K. Waldon is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at University of California Davis, CA. His research is devoted to a broad range of problems in theoretical and mathematical physics. In particular he has made an important contribution to the conjectured Banks-Fishler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) matrix model of string theory and M-theory. He has also studied other problems arising in M-theory and in supergravity.
