Linear Algebra for Earth Scientists

About this book

Linear Algebra for Earth Scientists is written for undergraduate and graduate students in Earth and Environmental sciences. It is intended to give students enough background in linear algebra to work with systems of equations and data in geology, hydrology, geophysics, or whatever part of the Earth Sciences they engage with.

The book does not presuppose any extensive prior knowledge of linear algebra. Instead, the book builds students up from a low base to a working understanding of the sub t that they can apply to their work, using many familiar examples in the geosciences.

Features

  • Suitable for students of Earth and Environmental Sciences
  • Minimal prerequisites — written in a way that is accessible and engaging for those without a mathematical background
  • All material presented with examples and applications to the Earth Sciences
