A thorough and accessible introduction to linear algebra, delivered digitally.
The new 10th Edition of Linear Algebra with Applications continues to encourage a challenging and broad understanding of the subject. For this edition, Steve Leon &; one of the leading figures in the use of technology for linear algebra &; is joined by new co-author Lisette de Pillis of Harvey Mudd College, who brings her passion for teaching and solving real-world problems to this revision.
Key to the 10th Edition was transforming from a primarily print-based resource to a digital learning tool. The eText is packed with content and tools, such as interactive figures, that help bring course content to life for students and augment instruction. This change in format supports the authors&; hallmark &; using modern practical application to make key concepts tangible and demonstrating how mathematics is used in the real world.
Each chapter contains integrated worked examples, practical applications, computer exercises, and chapter tests.  The important roles played by geometry and visualization in understanding linear algebra are emphasized.
For sophomore-level or junior/senior-level first courses in linear algebra; assumes calculus as a prerequisite.
Pearson eText allows educators to easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class &; motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. Portable access lets students study on the go, even offline. And, student usage analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction.
NOTE: This ISBN is for the Pearson eText access card. For students purchasing this product from an online retailer, Pearson eText is a fully digital delivery of Pearson content and should only be purchased when required by your instructor. In addition to your purchase, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson eText.

Steven J. Leon is a Chancellor Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He has been a Visiting Professor at Stanford University, ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), KTH (the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm), UC San Diego, and Brown University. His areas of specialty are linear algebra and numerical analysis.
Leon has been active in the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS). He served as Editor-in-Chief of Image, the Bulletin of the International Linear Algebra Society from 1989 to 1997. He also served two terms as Chair of the ILAS Education Committee. In the 1990’s he served as Director of the NSF sponsored ATLAST Project (Augmenting the Teaching of Linear Algebra using Software Tools). The project conducted 18 regional faculty workshops during the period from 1992–1997.
Professor Leon is now living in San Diego where he remains professionally active and participates in the Computational Mathematics seminars at UCSD.
Lisette de Pillis holds the Norman F. Sprague chaired Professorship in the Life Sciences, and is department chair and a professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College. De Pillis has also been the director of the Harvey Mudd College Global Clinic Program and the Director for the Center for Quantitative Life Sciences.
De Pillis is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, an Argonne National Laboratory Maria Goeppert-Mayer Distinguished Scholar, and a HERS-CBL Clare Booth Luce Leadership in STEM Scholar. She has been an officer of the Society for Mathematical Biology, a guest editor for the MAA American Mathematical Monthly, an Editorial Board Member for the AMS Notices, Associate Editor for the Undergraduate Mathematics Applications Project, and a Board Member for Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics.
