The second edition of Nicholson's best-selling Elementary Linear Algebra retains all of the characteristics that made it a market leader by: enhancing the manner in which it addresses the needs of the users taking linear algebra as a service course, continuing the trend away from the abstract view of the subject toward a more matrix approach, and advancing the use of technology to help with instruction and computation.

W. Keith Nicholson's "Linear Algebra with Applications, Fifth Canadian Edition" is written for first and second year students at both the college or university level. Its real world approach challenges students step-by-step, gradually bringing them to a higher level of understanding from abstract to more general concepts. Real world applications have been added to the new edition, including: Directed graphs; Google PageRank; Computer graphics; Correlation and Variance; and Finite Fields and Linear Codes.In addition to the new applications, the author offers several new exercises and examples throughout each chapter. Some new examples include: motivating matrix multiplication (Chapter 2) and a new way to expand a linearly independent set to a basis using an existing basis. While some instructors will use the text for one semester, ending at Chapter 5 The Vector Space Rn others will continue with more abstract concepts being introduced. Chapter 5 prepares students for the transition, acting as the "bridging" chapter, allowing challenging concepts like subspaces, spanning, independence and dimension to be assimilated first in the concrete context of Rn. This "bridging" concept eases students into the introduction of vector spaces in Chapter 6.

Product Description Connect - Your Study and Testing Program with e-book - is included with each new copy of the text. For more information, go to www.mcgrawhillistudy.ca Nicholson Linear Algebra 6e introduces the general idea of Linear Algebra much earlier than the competition keeping with the same rigorous and concise approach to linear algebra. Along with the many diagrams and examples that help students visualize, the 6e also keeps with the continuous introduction of concepts. #1 advantage is in Chap 5 known as the "bridging chapter" helps stop students from "hitting the wall" when abstract vector spaces are introduced in chap 6. About the Author Dr. W. Keith Nicholson earned his undergraduate Degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Alberta, and received his Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1970. He then moved to the University of Calgary, and has been a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics since 1979, where he has been carrying out research in a branch of algebra called "Ring Theory". His continuing interest in teaching undergraduate students has led to another book in Linear Algebra (now in its third edition), a text in Abstract Algebra (second edition), and the creation (with Professor Claude Laflamme), of an internet tutorial for Linear Algebra called ILAW (Interactive Linear Algebra on the Web). Keith is married and has two grown sons.

This book offers a welcome expansion on key concepts, terms, and issues in causality. It brings much needed clarity to psychological injury assessments and the legal contexts that employ them. Focusing on PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain (and grounding readers in salient U.S. and Canadian case law), the book sets out a multifactorial causality framework to facilitate admissibility of psychological evidence in court.

This book introduces aqueous geochemistry applied to geothermal systems. It is specifically designed for readers first entering into the world of geothermal energy from a variety of scientific and engineering backgrounds, and consequently is not intended to be the last word on geothermal chemistry. Instead it is intended to provide readers with sufficient background knowledge to permit them to subsequently understand more complex texts and scientific papers on geothermal energy. The book is structured into two parts. The first explains how geothermal fluids and their associated chemistry evolve, and shows how the chemistry of these fluids can be used to, deduce information about the resource. The second part concentrates on survey techniques explaining how these should be performed and the procedures which need to be adopted to ensure reliable sampling and analytical data are obtained. A geothermal system requires a heat source and a fluid which transfers the heat towards the surface. The fluid could be molten rock (magma) or water. This book concentrates on the chemistry of the water, or hydrothermal, systems. Consequently, magma-energy systems are not considered. Hot-dry rock (HDR) systems are similarly outside the scope of this text, principally because they contain no indigenous fluid for study. Both magma-energy and HDR systems have potential as energy sources but await technological developments before they can be exploited commercially. Geothermal systems based on water, however, are proven energy resources which have been successfully developed throughout the world.
