Interactive Linear Algebra
Description
Interactive Linear Algebra and its associated software are course materials for introductory linear algebra. The software consists of around 75 (and growing) highly visual online apps that are fully self-contained. Immersed in each app, students make problem-solving decisions in real time, while the software handles routine, low-level calculations to show the outcome of each decision. Students are unencumbered by tedious “pencil and paper” calculations that STEM professionals haven't used for decades, and focus on rapid problem-solving skills. Traditional exercises involving technology simply refer students to “black box” computational software, while the Interactive Linear Algebra software keeps students fully engaged in the mathematical processes they are learning. This engagement leads to better retention of problem-solving strategies and deeper mathematical insight.
Interactive Linear Algebra includes standard introductory topics from basic matrix algebra to Singular Value Decomposition. The development of these topics is mathematically rigorous, but the proofs are often inspired by mathematical insights that are imbued by the software. This strategy allows instructors to choose an emphasis on formal proofs that matches the learning objectives of their course.
- Covers all standard topics in basic linear algebra in a mathematically rigorous way.
- Permits a broad range of emphasis on mathematical logic and proofs.
- Allows students to carry out problem-solving steps in real time via immersive apps that handle routine arithmetic and immediately provide the numerical outcome of each student’s decisions.
- Promotes retention of problem-solving strategies and mathematical insight.
- Avoids the need for computational software training in class.
- Saves significant class time, replacing tedious hand-calculations by instructors with brief demonstrations of the self-contained apps.
Interactive Linear Algebra is intended for use in introductory linear algebra courses for students pursuing STEM degrees. The text allows any level of emphasis on mathematical rigor, from light treatment to a formal introduction to mathematical proofs.
The software, including demos, is available at https://themathatlas.com/
Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 2–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.

- Special orders: Some supplier items, such as specialist and imported items, titles awaiting reprint and print-on-demand titles, take longer to arrive. If your order includes one, we’ll update you as soon as we hear from our supplier.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.
- Check your address: If an order goes to an incorrect address you gave us, or isn’t collected and Australia Post returns it to us, you’ll need to pay the postage to send it again.
Cancellations
Need to change or cancel an order? Contact us as soon as possible at contact@bookloop.com.au or through our contact page.
- Within 30 minutes: You can change or cancel your order for a full refund within 30 minutes of placing it.
- After 30 minutes: Your order is already being processed, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. If we can accept a late cancellation, we may offer store credit instead of a refund.
- Items in transit: Once an item is on its way, either from our supplier to us or from us to you, it can’t be cancelled. If you no longer want it once it arrives, you can return it as a change of mind, with return postage at your cost. See Returns.
- Separate orders can’t be combined once they’ve been placed, and adding or swapping items can change the delivery estimate.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
Faulty or damaged items are always covered. See Returns.
