Linear Algebra for the Sciences

這本書是基於第二作者在蘇黎世大學多次舉辦的面向第一學期科學學生的課程。它的目標有三個：讓學生學習線性代數的最低工作知識，獲得一些計算能力，並熟悉數學語言以便更容易閱讀數學文獻。因此，我們提供精確的定義，介紹有用的符號，並仔細陳述任何結果。我們不提供這些結果的證明，但通常會用大量的例子來說明。此外，為了更好地理解，我們經常提供支持性的論證，解釋它們為什麼是有效的。

Manuel Benz is a high school teacher working in Zurich. After his studies in theoretical particle physics and mathematics, he taught, together with Thomas Kappeler, several courses at the University of Zurich. The courses' goal: To find a bridge between high school and university mathematics and to motivate young students to pursue their studies in mathematics.​
Thomas Kappeler was an Emeritus Professor at the University of Zurich. He started his academic career with a thesis on bilinear integrals, was a visiting professor at four universities in the United States and following a professorship at the Ohio State University, he was appointed professor at the University of Zurich. His research focused, among others, on global analysis and dynamical systems. In his lectures, he took great care to present the topics with precision and clarity.

Manuel Benz是一位在蘇黎世工作的高中教師。在他的理論粒子物理和數學學習之後，他與Thomas Kappeler一起在蘇黎世大學教授了幾門課程。這些課程的目標是在高中和大學數學之間建立一座橋樑，並激勵年輕學生繼續深造數學。

Thomas Kappeler是蘇黎世大學的名譽教授。他的學術生涯始於關於雙線性積分的論文，曾在美國的四所大學擔任訪問教授，並在俄亥俄州立大學擔任教授職位後，被任命為蘇黎世大學的教授。他的研究主要集中在全球分析和動力系統等領域。在他的講座中，他非常注重以精確和清晰的方式呈現主題。
