Linear Algebra for Physics

This textbook provides a full treatment of Linear Algebra devoted to undergraduate and graduate physics students. Although the mathematical level is similar to the corresponding mathematical textbooksin regard to definitions, propositions and proofs, itadopts a language and approach more attuned to the reader's familiarity with physics lectures and physicstextbooks.A distinctive feature is the emphasis placed on the significance of bases within a vector space.As a result, studentsgain a deeper understanding of how vector indices, despite their abundance, serve not asenemies butasfriends since they give additional information about the mathematical objectsbeing used, and facilitate access to tensor formalism. The book offersnumerousworked examples and exercises with solution hintstodeepenthisknowledge.
