About this book :-
"Linear Algebra" by André Hensbergen and Nikolaas Verhulst is a beginner-friendly textbook designed for university students, especially those studying "engineering" and applied sciences. The book introduces core ideas step by step, starting with vectors and geometry before moving into systems of equations and "matrices". The explanations are clear and structured, making it suitable for first-time learners. A key strength of the book is its focus on understanding, not just calculation. Topics such as "linear transformations", eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and orthogonality are explained using intuitive examples and visual thinking. The authors connect algebraic methods with geometric meaning, helping students see how formulas relate to real mathematical structures. The book also encourages active learning through examples and practice problems that reinforce concepts. It balances theory with application, allowing readers to build confidence in both problem-solving and conceptual reasoning. Overall, it is a solid resource for anyone seeking a clear and practical introduction to "vector spaces", "matrix operations", and foundational linear algebra ideas.
