Elementary Linear Algebra is written for the first undergraduate course. The book focuses on the importance of linear algebra in many disciplines such as engineering, economics, statistics, and computer science. The text reinforces critical ideas and lessons of traditional topics.

This text fills a niche between a calculus-based probability course and a stochastic processes course typically taken by upper undergraduate students. While Markov processes are touched on in probability courses, this book offers the opportunity to concentrate on the topic when additional study is required. It discusses how Markov processes are applied in a number of fields, including economics, physics, and mathematical biology.
