This book is a short text in linear algebra, intended for a one-term course. Lang discusses the relation between the geometry and the algebra underlying the subject, and includes sections on linear equations, matrices and Gaussian elimination, and vector spaces, linear maps, scalar products, determinants, and eigenvalues. The book contains a large number of exercises, some of the routine computational type, and others are conceptual.
