Linear algebra is a compilation of diverse but interrelated ideas that provide a way of analyzing and solving problems in many applied fields. As with most mathematics courses, the subject involves theorems, proofs, formulas, and computations of various kinds. However, if all you do is learn to use the formulas and mechanically perform the computations, you will have missed the most important part of the subject-understanding how the different ideas discussed in the course interrelate with one another-and this can only be achieved by reading the theorems and working through the proofs. This is important because the key to solving a problem using linear algebra often rests with looking at the problem from the right point of view. Keep in mind that every problem in this text has already been solved by somebody, so your ability to solve those problems gives you nothing unique. However, if you master the ideas and their interrelationship, then you will have the tools to go beyond what other people have done, limited only by your talents and creativity.
