43. Teaching Linear Algebra Resources for Teaching Linear Algebra Edited by David Carlson, Charles R. Johnson, David Lay, Duane Porter, Ann Watkins, and William Watkins. Reviewed by Rebecca Berg http://www.maa.org/reviews/linearalg.html

Read This! The MAA Online book review column Resources for Teaching Linear Algebra Edited by David Carlson, Charles R. Johnson, David Lay, Duane Porter, Ann Watkins, and William Watkins Reviewed by Rebecca Berg The articles in this collection discuss both the content of linear algebra courses and approaches to teaching such courses. The authors address elementary topics, such as row reduction, and more advanced topics, such as sparse matrices, iterative methods and pseudo-inverses. There are agreements: "Only under torture would I tell a student about Kramer's rule..."(Almon); "As an example of how familiarity with determinants can rot your brain...." (Axler). There are, of course, also areas of disagreement, as when Dubinsky disagrees with the LACSG recommendations. There are well-known applications, such as Markov chains, and some not-so-well-known applications, such as Fisher's theorem on complete bipartite subgraphs (bicliques). There are articles from the users of matrix algebra: computer graphics, computer science and others. The articles together constitute a thoughtful, well-written, challenging and often entertaining discussion of this important area of mathematics. PART I, "The Role of Linear Algebra," is a perfect way to begin this book. Alan Tucker gives a nice survey of the history of linear algebra with many historical notes on people such as Leibniz, (Wilhelm) Jordan, Babbage, von Neumann and Turing. He emphasizes the importance of linear algebra for its applicability and its role in computation. He discusses the pedagogical importance of linear algebra as a "very accessible geometrically based theory whose study serves as preparation to more abstract upper-division courses." (p.10). He also gives a nice overview of the history of the linear algebra course in the undergraduate curriculum.
