LINEAR ALGEBRA: Concepts and Applications covers important topics of Linear equations and matrices, Vector spaces, Linear transformations, Matrix analysis, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors and Inner product spaces. This book will help the reader work on the problems of Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Differential Equations and Engineering applications.

• • Unsolved problems just after relevant articles in the form of exercises • Unsolved problems have been designed afresh and typical problems followed by suggestions. • Objective type problems also included
