Linjär algebra Grundkurs erbjuder det kompletta materialet till den första kursen i linjär algebra vid universitet och tekniska högskolor. Boken behandlar matriser, determinanter, teorin för linjära ekvationssystem, vektorer, koordinatsystem, skalär och vektorprodukt, linjära avbildningar, linjer och plan i rymden samt andragradskurvor.

Dessa är grundläggande för all högre matematik och framför allt för alla matematiska tillämpningar i teknik, naturvetenskap och ekonomi. Boken är lättsamt, omsorgsfullt och utförligt skriven. Den startar med för studenten nya begrepp, som matriser och determinanter, och landar i intrikata tillämpningar av dessa i verkligheten.

Sagt om boken[...] Boken är mycket trevligt disponerad och skriven på ett lättsamt sätt vilket gör den lättläst. Figurerna är bra och tydliga och det finns många exempel med lösningar. Till varje kapitel hör även övningar med utförliga svar och anvisningar [...]". Michaël Norberg, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 19, 2017.
