内容説明
The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra, the latest addition to No Starch Press's bestselling Manga Guide series, uses Japanese comics, clear explanations, and a charming storyline to explain the essentials of linear algebra. Linear algebra is a required course for all technical majors (including computer science, math, engineering, and physics), and is often one of the hardest courses that students take. While the math is straightforward enough, concepts like vector spaces and linear maps are very challenging to grasp. The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra explains these tricky concepts using accessible, real-world examples like mini-golf and karate tournaments. Instead of suffering at the mercy of a dry lecturer or boring textbook, students get an engaging lesson from cartoon characters. The book begins by defining linear algebra and its role in modern mathematics. It goes on to cover the fundamentals of linear algebra, including number systems, set theory, and linear maps. Readers explore the uses of vectors and matrices, the relationship between linear maps and matrices, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors-all with the aid of original Manga.
