The Inquiry-based Approach is central to this development. The text is organized around and offers the standard topics expected in a first undergraduate course in linear algebra. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our approach, students begin with a problem and develop the mathematics necessary to describe, solve, and generalize it. Thus students learn a vital skill for the 21st century: the ability to create a solution to a problem. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is offered to foster an environment that supports the creative process.
