Arguably, as we move deeper into an age of intellectual technology, this need is actually greater. Witness, for example, Google’s PageRank technology, an application that has a place in nearly every chapter of this text. In the first edition of this text (henceforth referenced as ALAMA), I suggested that for many students “linear algebra will be as fundamental in their professional work as the tools of calculus.” I believe now that this applies to most students of technology. Hence, this revision
