This is a book of exercises in Linear Algebra. Through a systematic detailed discussion of 200 solved exercises, important concepts and topics are reviewed. The student is led to make a systematic review of topics from the basics to more advanced material, with emphasis on points that often cause the greatest difficulties. The solved exercises are followed by an additional 200 proposed exercises (with answers), thus guiding the student to a systematic consolidation of all topics.

The contents follow closely the majority of the introductory courses of Linear Algebra. We consider in particular systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, linear transformations, inner products, norms, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The variety of exercises allows the adjustment to different levels in each topic.

Contents:

• Matrices and Vectors
• Determinants
• Linear Spaces
• Linear Transformations
• Inner Products and Norms
• Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
