PART I

Editorial Reviews

The first part of this text is at the immediate post-calculus level. The second is at the upper-undergraduate level, taking up general determinants and standard forms for matrices, thus requiring some familiarity with permutation groups and the factorization of polynomials into irreducible polynomials (normally covered in a one- semester abstract algebra course taken between the two linear algebra courses).
