Linear algebra and matrix theory stand as two of the most crucial and widely utilized branches of mathematics, holding immense significance in solving engineering and economic models. These fields are particularly vital when either the model is assumed linear or when a nonlinear model is approximated by a linear model, and the subsequent linear model is analyzed. This book serves primarily as a textbook, designed to cover a one-semester upper-division course or a two-semester lower-division course on the subject. The upcoming second edition will be an expanded and modernized version of the first edition. We have incorporated several new theoretical topics and introduced applications from fields beyond economics. Additionally, we have included more challenging exercises at the end of each chapter, necessitating a deep understanding of the theoretical concepts. Furthermore, we have modernized certain proofs in the theoretical discussions to provide a clearer overview of the study material. In the process of preparing the manuscript, we have diligently corrected any typos and errors, ensuring that the second edition emerges as a corrected, extended, and modernized new version of the first edition.
