Poole’s "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction, Cengage International Edition", 5th, prepares students to transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and application, the conversational writing style combines traditional presentation with student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational and applied topics are presented in a flexible, integrated way.

Numerous applications drawn from a variety of disciplines reinforce that linear algebra is a valuable tool for modeling real-life problems.
